Call me pedantic but he doesn't have an ATPL....just a CPL and IR.
You only need to be 18 to hold either of these qualifications so I'm not that impressed! He won't be able to hold an ATPL till he's 21
AFAIK.
It is tough to get through all the stuff though so he has done well but he avoided the hardest part (paying for it)...
I wonder if his Dad attended the "passing out" parade..
