Aged to fly?
What is the average age of eveyone on the PPRUNE?
When i first started flying i thought i was relatively young.Now it seems like people are learning to fly whilst still at school and going solo on 17th B'Day.
I never bothered doing a degree and decided to get an apprenticeship in IT so i could pay to fly. I at least thought my age would go in my favour.
I was obsessed with flying ever since i was 7. I have always had the latest versions of MS Flight Simulator(sad) and this is where i learnt all my basic instrument knowledge. I have always understood planes but have never been interested in school work!.I passed all my GCSE's B's and C's
Do you think an airline would understand that i chose to fly rather than education. If so ignore me i am being paranoid!.
I am still interested in how old everyone else is though.
PS- Does any body know of a good school for ground school. I am thinking of LGU full-time. £2K --CHEAP AT DOUBLE THE PRICE-- I know this sounds like a sob story but the problem is that pilots are all too often placed on that 'Golden Throne' which seems impossible to achieve by all us mere mortals.
