I know how
off you feel. My best mate from school was recently recommended for a command with a UK based charter airline flying 757s. He's 26 like me and has +/- 4000 hours. Nothing against him as he loves what he's doing and he's great at what he does. Needless to say however that he didn't pay for his CPL by doing a paper round
I'm sure that my IR will be a piece of cake compared to finding the funds to go and do it.
