Hi Oliver and welcome to FT ^

My 7 year old shares not only your name, but your passion as well. I wish you all the best in achieving your dream.

A friend of Mr TL had the same dream and, after gaining his licence in his spare time, secured a job with Air Hong Kong as first officer After 3 years on the A300 freighter, he was selected for a conversion course and now flies 744F's.

Go for it, if you want it that badly it will happen by hook or by crook.
