At the mo, I'm bringing a 23 year pilot up to speed. He's good to be fair. But my worry is that he's a bit young. It is unfair and I know that age is not neccessarily a measure of maturity.
But the problem is not just that he can kill himself but that he can kill a bunch of other people and cost me my job.
So I'm super careful. It would be the same if he was 19 except that I wouldn't even let him in the door.
Sorry but that's the cruel reality.
But stick with it, your time will come. Age 19 you have a long way to go.
