Take everything with a pinch of salt and remember that not everyone is cut out to be an airline pilot. There are plenty of people with a licence who will never be selected for various reasons, and they will tend to have the loudest voices.
Yes, you are right about those facts. I guess its not possible to fly in the UK with an EASA licence, but would be a great opportunity tbh.
Hopefully when I get the license, I'll be appealing for an airliner
, and previous work/life experience, degree and maturity outweigh age vs a 20 something.
