A very young pilot !

A teenager is set to be one of the youngest pilots ever to fly passengers on a major airline after he was offered at job with Ryanair at the age of just 19.

Ryan Irwin, from Wirral, Merseyside, was offered a job with the budget carrier after qualifying as a pilot from the prestigious Oxford Aviation Academy.

After he completes his training with Ryanair in September, he will fulfil a life-long dream when he finally sits at the controls in the cockpit of an international commercial passenger jet.

After qualifying from the pilot training academy in Oxford in February Mr Irwin applied for jobs straight away and soon received offers from both Ryanair and Jet2, another budget airline.
"Ryanair got back to me first, it was a no brainer really".

He will need to to wait until he is 21 before he can hold a full ATPL Licence and start his ryanair 737 TR training. But good luck to him, wish I had the money to go all the way to ATPL.
