Thanks for the heads up I fully understand that I won't be the only 18 year old with a couple of hours behind me, or that I'm completely unique in terms of those applying, however I may be tempted to say I'll be one of the few that has gained his/her hours through hard graft - when I started as an aircraft cleaner I cycled to the airport (12 miles), when I was 16 I got a moped specifically for that and despite it being quicker and far easier was still bloody freezing in the winter! My hi-vis waterproof trousers ended up being patched with duct tape on the knees I came off so much in the few winters I had it! I worked through the winter when it was so cold that the water froze onto the underneath of the aircraft I was cleaning, I think that for someone so young (relatively) to have already shown the commitment and dedication that I have towards a career in aviation I could be a real asset to Highland - phew! any thoughts?!
