Hey all, thanks for replying, however now I am in two minds as to what to do. I am 19 at the moment and am about to start my ATPL's. I have 160 hours total with my PPL, so straight after my ground school will be looking at progressing to my CPL, but then i don't know whether to risk it and do my IR and start applying, or to get my FI and look for a job instructing for a bit. With the replies so far it looks as though being young can help, any opinions or suggestions?
Cheers
