I was 19 (about 3 months short of 20) when i started on a heavy turbo for a regional carrier at the end of 1997. Paid about 30000 euros before tax. I had just graduated from college with about 200hrs and a brand new frozen ATPL. Converted onto the Airbus 320 in 99, the A330 in 00 and the A340 earlier this year.
Sanket_patel i quite agree, your attitude and ability rather than your age (or lack of it) is far more important to any potential employer.
