I was 18 when I started in the mighty Beech. Flying CRJs at 19, and Boeings at 24.
Did you go to college?
I did distance learning through Embry Riddle, but I never finished. I could probably get it done in less than a year if I really tried, but I just haven't had the time since I started the union gig. After I'm back to flying, I'll probably finish it.
Is your union gig a 24/7/365 job too? :beer:
