First of all, I'd love to see a real-world example of an 18-year-old airline pilot.
Secondly, I strongly disagree. Having money or the ability to obtain a loan is not the only quality one must possess in order to become an airline pilot. Flying a multi-turbine aircraft in all kinds of weather demands a certain skill set far above the ability to just obtain a loan.
