This is Kate McWilliams, the easyJet pilot who became the world's youngest female commercial captain at 26.
She told Business Insider that after she finished her A levels, she applied to university but "didn't feel like it was the right option." Instead, she applied to CTC Aviation — now called L3 Airline Academy — a flying school which trains aspiring commercial pilots.
Now 28, McWilliams is a Captain and has been with easyJet for 7 years. She's based out of London Gatwick Airport.
"I don’t feel like I have a job, I just have a really fun hobby that I get paid to do."
