Why not be happy for the guy. So the press made something out of it. He got in the newspaper. Some airline may see the advert and give him a call. No need to slate the guy.
As everyone knows it's not easy to get a Fzn ATPL. Doing it at a young age could be a disadvantage and make it slightly harder, if he's had no experience of really working hard (i.e. at Uni). I should know. I finished my course 4 weeks ago... at the young and impressionable age of 19!!
