Hi, I started my training a year ago a couple of days after I turned 19. Just over a year later im now employed by the school i trained with. Like i was worried about being a young guy in the industry, a couple of times i have a had housemates who i've offered to take up on flights not wanting to go and in that case i believe it was because of my age and you will get a few people like that. As long as you are mature enough and know your stuff and show that your a safe a competent pilot things will be fine. A 21 year old who had been working for the school here who also started instructing when she was 20 recently got a job in Alaska after gaining 1000 hours. Hope this helps prove that age shouldn't be an issue
