Hi! I've just started my career and i'm 20 and I'm working for BMI. Most people on my training course and most of the crew i've spoken to normally start at about 20-25.

I was 20 when I started flying, now am 23 and plan to be flying for at least another 10 years, and involved in aviation in some form for the rest of my life... I think we can all attest to flying getting into your blood! I could never (voluntarily) go back into the normal world - how boring!

[myflybhx]

Well I am feeling a bit old now, I started flying last year at the ripe old age of 30! But I love it
Only question is.... "Why didn't I do it it sooner?"

[ozangel]

around aircraft since i was little
16 restricted licence, 17 private, 18 commercial and IFR

18 started working with Virgin Blue on the ground
19 and 1/4 moved to W.A and worked with tons of other airlines in the same role and graduated from uni with a Bachelor of Aviation
19 and 3/4 moved back to BNE and worked at BNE intl for Freedom Air before getting offered a Flight Attendant job with Alliance on the F100.
20 Cabin Manager

The downside is i get people asking if im in my 30s ... I very rarely get anyone guess within 5 years of my age. Hey, 30 is only young, but it makes me wonder what people will be thinking when I actually do hit 30...
On the other hand, I love every second of my job. I get depressed when Im not rostered on 6 days a week... Its given me heaps of opportunities to meet new people, and go interesting places... I couldnt ask for a better bunch of people to work with/for. Know everyone, and go to work and have an awesome time.

I was 22 and started with Air Europe Italy on the most beautiful and sexiest aircraft in the world!!!
Now I am 24, worked for FCA for 16 months and ready to go to BA in a couple of weeks....3 companies in 3 years but I am not planning to go anywhere else now that I got the job I have always wanted!!!

Sinala is right, the "normal" world would be too boring after having done this job for a while!!!

Cheers!!
