I'm 19, a Floor Manager at McDONALDS and I have a PPL (ok, i know its not 4 stripes, but it will do!)
And no, i don't get to wear an air hostess uniform! (I'm a girl before i get any wierd comments)
PS If anyone is after a grill rating, i can assure you it is a very cheap and easy rating to get and keep current.
The grill rating is also similar to the IMC/IR, having the REGULAR GRILL and also QUARTER GRILL ratings. The latter being the harder of the two, needing more time to complete. It enables you to make better approaches to your smokey grill, which i assure you can be tricky. You will feel much more competent with your spatula
Those who work after 2100 hours also qualify to apply for the night grill rating. This again is easy to keep current and does not require quite so many hours as the CAA version of the NIGHT RATING.
You can also upgrade your SINGLE grill to TWIN, possibly more if you so desire
