How old are you ???
This may be a rude question but I am intersted in finding out the average age of ppruners here currently training/studies/hour building. Whats your current status ?
Also did you have a non-aviation career before you started ? When did you take the first step ?

Currently 27, doing PPL. First Solo at 13 hours(!) presently have a non-aviation career and took first step about 11 months (but in aviation started PPL back in April).
I actually applied to BA Sposorship back in 98 (suppose that was first step) and got an interview but not the place. It all started again in a big way in February when I spent two hours flying an Airbus A330 simulator at Alteon near Manchester-started PPL a few weeks later and not looked back.
