I'm very envious of this guy. If all had gone to plan I would have had my fATPL at 19 but like lots of people it didn't so am just starting out but should still have mine by 23 1/2 so can't complain. Don't begrudge this guy his 5 mins of fame. Yes it's a bit cringeworthy but he's made the best use of what he's got including his contacts to get him to where he is now.
Can anyone dare to say that they wouldn't do the same??? If my ol'man was a Cpt for a charter airline then I wouldn't have any qualms in grabbing the opportunity.
