What are some of the most rewarding aviation careers?
I want to study to be a commercial airline pilot, i'm currently obtaining my private pilot license right now. I'm not sure if I will enjoy it or not. I want to fly either helio or planes, but anything will help!
Here, maybe these videos will help you make up your mind. They're intended to be funny and are a bit exaggerated, but there's far more truth than fiction here:
If you don't enjoy flying as a private pilot, you definitely won't enjoy flying as a commercial pilot. One step at a time, Skippy.
My primary interest in flying was travel to distant places -
Being paid to travel and get free (and decent) hotel accommodations -
Away from home for 2 or 3 weeks never bothered me -
Unfortunately, today junior pilots only fly domestic routes in the USA -
Nothing attractive about flying from Cleveland to Detroit!
30+ years ago, even junior pilots (with Pan American) flew worldwide -
And it was also the case of many pilots with TWA or Northwest -
I liked airline flying, does not matter if cargo or passengers -
Military flying with transports was similar to airline operations
- What are some good areas that are suburban like near the Newark airport in New Jersey? My boyfriend recently got a job with Port Authority, but he lives 70 miles currently from the airport, now he's looking at apartments near the place, but not directly in Newark. He basically wants something that's less that's less than a 40 mile drive, a good area. My boyfriend and me are not from Jersey, so we have no idea what's a good area.
- Do you know why some stores at airport ask for boarding pass? Do you know why some stores at airport ask for boarding pass when buying stuff even chocolates, candies or foods? That happened to me when I was in Amsterdam airport.
- Aviation university? Or just a regular university and then do aviation on the side? I'm currently 15 and going through ground school in january. I want to one day be a major airline pilot. Which is the faster/better route to take?
- What a levels are most suited to an airport and airline management degree at uni? Not really sure what a levels or BTEC are most desirable or relevant to this degree. Does it matter what subjects I do at sixth form?
