How I Became An Airline Pilot At 21

In this video, I'm going to explain how I became a commercial airline pilot at just 21 years old.

For as long as I can remember, it has always been a dream of mine to become an airline pilot. I am now happy to say that I have achieved that goal and I want to share my journey with you all. Hopefully, this video helps inspire and educate many more future pilots to come! Please don't hesitate to leave a comment with any questions.

Hi all, thanks again for watching. I think I might have got the year 2023 and 2022 muddled up a couple times, but I’m sure you can work out what I mean (I finished my flight training March 2022 and started for my airline November 2022) 😂 if you have any questions let me know!

Impressive dedication. At 75 maybe a bit late for me, but I can at least experience it vicariously through videos like yours. Many thanks

I'm a senior First Officer for a well known budget airline, started at 23 years old working on Airbus A320 and A321's great job !!!

I’m 25 and was captain on the 737.
Before that I upgraded to captain on the saab 340 at 23. And began as a first officer at 21.
I Recently began as first officer at a major US airline.. it’s great to see more of us younger guys and gals succeeding. While most where out partying or enjoying their teens, we where studying and oriented to what we wanted to do, which was fly.
To anyone that thinks your too young to start, don’t, Begin flying as soon as you know it’s what you want to do! Blue skies brother, much love from the states.

As an aspiring pilot, your words and tips really gives me more insight on the paths to chose and to give it %101, thanks

Im 17 and working as an aircraft mechanic, currently starting my flight lessons to get my PPL and wanting to become a commercial pilot. I cant imagine myself doing anything else! thanks for posting this video and showing that with a touch of hard work and perseverance its not impossible!

[MerkyAviation]

I am thankful and inspired by this video. As person who is the exact same age as you and also has aspirations of becoming a pilot, I believe that this video will change me forever with the amount of insights and details given. And the fact that you put your all into your flight school to get to the current position you're in makes me proud of you and also lights up a fire inside me to actually achieve the same dream as everyone else.

Congrats!! This video gave me even more inspiration to try harder to do anything to become a pilot. I'm right now at an university while doing my PPL licence and ground handling at an airport as a student job, so I really can't wait to get the ATPL and start flying airliners.

[rajeevyella]

you are one of the luckiest pilots ever to get placed at 21 and your hard work and dedication gave you great results, congratulations

[speedbrake]

Have a wonderful career Oli.
I had my Licence before my driving Licence and started flying commercially many years ago just before I was 19! Did 9 jet type ratings and thankfully only ever had shutdowns in the sim! Retired now but still pottering around in my Cub in South Africa. Enjoy every moment, take care.😊

i know the video is a year old maybe older but genuinely thank you for this video, no airline pilot ever tells people the story of exactly specifically how they went from nothing to everything i want to be (airline pilot) and have always been. the information disclosed here has been completely unmatched even from my own family members who are living my dream. really grateful for it i hope to be like you one day truly an inspiration

[benjaminkpope]

Hey! I just turned 21 last month, and now I’m starting at a Canadian airline as a first officer. Keep it up!

[TheBenneedhamcase]

BRILLIANT Ollie. It’s not hard to see how you have succeeded with your ambition. Well done, wish it had been me.

[strangegoat]

Hi! I'm 15 yrs old, I've already flown a plane a few times, basic turns, holding altitude in turns, descending, climbing, assisted take-off and flew an approach to get the aircraft at the correct airspeed and position to land! My dream is to be an airline pilot and this video really helps me, it gives inspiration and an insight to the industry. I know a TUI captain and senior cabin manager so i can get help from them too! See you in the skies!

[Eliasneo]

I’m been wanting to become a pilot for a year now I have more aviation knowledge than I’d ever think I’d have this video is an inspiration for me thank you. :)

[casparmh]

i thank you for not doing what most other people do an put this behind a paywall this is amazing info thx oli!

[jonseal]

What an impressive young man. Just shows what can be done with dedication and not following the herd to uni to do a pointless degree for 60k. Brilliant to see someone your age with such a work ethic and dedication. Your parents must be bursting with pride and rightly so. Bravo.

[leopoldfranckurent]

Wow, this was so motivational. I'm out of high school and pursuing my ATPL at an ATO. The social pressure of not going to college weighed on me heavily because all of my peers were taking that route. All I ever wanted to do is become a pilot like you, and I can see that I'm not the only one!
