Question Eldest child??

Hi,

I've been lurking on PPrune for a couple of months - excellent website.

My question - I saw a documentary years ago about the effect that one's relationship with one's siblings (ie eldest child, middle child, youngest child, only child) has on one's chosen profession. It turned that, for example, most nurses were youngest children (I think) but what stuck in my mind was that a substantial majority of airline pilots were eldest children.

Being an eldest child myself, and having recently got my PPL, I thought a little PPrune survey might be in order!

Would any other pilots / flight crew / engineers etc care to reveal whether they're eldest / middle / youngest / only??

Cheers,

SC.
