After training, he immediately started work as a pilot for a commercial airline The captain is the boss, but Ed's allowed to almost the same work apart from operating the plane on the runway at the airport When Ed first joined the airline, he flew mail to different places Then he changed to passenger flights 'I was excited, but you don't really get to talk to the passengers The captain is in charge, but if they fly out on a short trip, you fly the plane back, for example.' There are other pilots around Ed's age, but they are a bit older because they've done something else before they came to flying But it's not everyone that can get a job so soon Ed, who now flies regularly to Europe and Africa, says simply, 'I think I just came along at the right time!'
