In the 1920s Argentina was the sixth largest economy in the world.
Today, it's so far down the list that it barely even counts.
As proved by your father who wasn't even able to work in his homeland.
He basically became an aviation vagabond.
I'm sorry that it happened that way.
And I do wish that Argentina was a great country that it deserves to be.
But alas it is a mess, both financially and politically.
As for starting young. and 25 being too late.
I never said it was too late.
I said 'a little late to the party'.
But by 25 I was first officer.
At age 27, like when you started, I joined a major airline.
Where I spent four months as second officer, two and a half years as first officer, and captain at age 30.
And I wasn't even the youngest.
Your not going to get that by starting later in life.
But then I knew this is what I wanted to do from age 10.
There simply wasn't an option.
Come hell or high water, this was the life for me.
