ED GARDNER - AIRLINE PILOT
At 20, Ed Gardner is too young to drive a bus in some countries. Yet he regularly flies tourists to their
holiday destinations.
Ed started flying at 14 - you can't be any younger than that - before he could even drive a car. He flew
unaccompanied at 16, and got his private pilot's licence on his 17 th birthday. His dad's an airline pilot
too, and Ed has flown with him on passenger flights since Ed became a pilot. “He never pushed me to
become a pilot, but as soon as I said I wanted to do it, he was pleased. And Dad gave me money for
my training, and now I'm paying him back. He's been very helpful.”
After training, he immediately started work as a pilot for a commercial airline. The captain is the boss,
but Ed's allowed to do 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!”
63. What does Ed say about his achievements at such a young age?
A. He feels he’s been lucky to join a company very quickly.
B. He thinks what he’s done may be very unusual.
C. He’s very proud of the position he’s got to.
D. He wishes he’d tried something else before he started flying.
