Here is a horrible translation from an on-line translator: (my last german class was 10 years ago, so the online program does a better job)

"How do I become a pilot?

In Lufthansa there lasts the education 2,5 years. Only who passes the hard admission test (math, physics, orientation ability), may in the theory education in the occupational airman.

t lasts a year. Only then the pupils may in airplanes: First in einmotorige propeller machines, followed by simulator training. Before it goes in big scheduled planes of Boeing and airbus, it is further coached on small business jets. The minimum age for pilots lies with 21 years. The flight education costs more than 130,000 euros. During her career Lufthansa pilots of it must pay back about 41,000 euros."

If I read it right, 2.5 years of training minimum age of 21 fly for Lufthansa...

Do the math, Lufthansa pays for 0 to hero training, she is only 24. There was another link, can't find it now, that said she had been flying for Lufthansa for just about a year. Logic says: she didn't have much more than a 1,000 TT...
