Started May 2001 (just before turning 18)
Got my PPL in Dec 2001
Worked outside aviation while doing hour building for a while.
Back full time into training in 2005, ATPL, CPL/ME IR and MCC all completed in 2005 at the age of 22.
Got my first job less than three months after I completed my training (without paying for the TR), just started line training on the B737 for an UK company....and I love it!
All the best
