Flying 737s at 19 year old. Yep a
fairly commendable achievment, he had the benefit that money was no object, coupled with an obvious amount of natural ability (otherwise he would have had to take more than just minimum hours to pass the course - bit like a driver who takes 5 years to pass the test or one that does it after 2 lessons).
I'm sure there are plenty others out there who given the financial backing, could have done the same.
He had the opportunity money wise and he took it. Just feel sorry for him that he will now have so many years ahead of him in the cockpit of a modern jet! Not my idea of an invigorating or stimulating career, but I hope he enjoys it and more importantly I hope he appreciates his father's gesture, though I doubt there is much fear that he won't, he must be fairly well grounded to achieve what he did
