PPL training as a Teenager?

Hi all,

I am 13 and so far have one hour (not logged) in a Cessna 150. I have the desire to get to airline flying at some point but I am wondering if starting PPL training at 14 is a good idea. I am also wondering if starting flying early and having a PPL looks good with regard to ATPL sponsorship and/or getting recruited by an airline.

Furthermore, is training at my age advisable with regards to safety and getting 1st time passes in subjects?

I'd be interested to hear from anyone about their experiences or their opinions on my situation.

Any good/cheap flying school names in the Nottinghamshire/Lincolnshire/South Yorkshire area would also be appreciated.

Yours with dreams of flight,
Cpt. Sunshine
