how come you didn't become an airline pilot?
How come you didn't become an airline pilot?
Too much time away from home.
I would fail the drug test.
Failed to prepare for the career in High School.
I love planes and flying but I wouldn't be comfortable with daily flights.
Don't want to get a loan for 100.000 euro to study for a boring job that basically means you watch a blue screen all day every day
Because I'm a firefighter and my job is cooler.
Cuz Engineering actually will pay you as living salary
I work for an airline, ticket counter and ramp. I'm too worthless to become a pilot.
It would be more comfy to fly planes for UPS and FedEx.
>no annoying passengers
>no roastie flight attendants
>can shoot the shit with your co-pilot or just enjoy the experience
Cause I'm an airline mechanic, pilots are brats.
I am. Actually a CFI, but I only need another 400 hours. Trying to decide between Endeavor and Envoy
military pilot. love my fucking job.
oi, i'm bangin ur girl
hahahahahahahahaha
nice try. my girl stays faithful to me.
I finished commercial pilot ground school but ultimately decided to go into real estate on the advice of my mentors who were getting fucked by the industry
> take off
> auto pilot on/auto thrust on
> spend the next 10 hours staring at the ECAM and PFD's and talking to ATC
> auto pilot lines up plane with runway
> disconnect autopilot 100 feet before runway
> land
sounds fun
I would love to fly privately but I ended up getting a job as a trucker soooo nope
Because I listened to his testimony before the House of Representatives.
Guarantee you make less than a commercial airline pilot
Especially if shit-tier civil
Yeah that's what she tells you anyway
Top gun over here
I'd love to be a fighter pilot but i don't know if I could deal with the lack of freedom
I was too dark to qualify for security reasons.
Cripplingly colorblind
Because I actually want to make money.
I'm becoming one. Got my PPL two weeks ago. I'm also a dispatcher.
Same
Cargo airlines have much more strict policies than regular Airlines, any pilot can shoot the shit while on the cockpit after 10000ft, unless cruise altitude is below 10000ft. That applies in most countries/airlines.
Go bush flying instead closeminded turd
wrong skin color
because 9/11 has already been done
Nice denial you got there.
Admit you serve just to fulfill your cuck fantasies.
Dude it's like $90,000 to get qualified
It's £109,000 in the UK. That's like 250K in your shitty currency.
Student pilot here. Getting my education paid for by the government. Still probably not the best choice career-wise, as jobs to pilots-ratio is like a hundred to one. Doesn't really matter tho, I'm fulfilling my dream
Just going to post a few pilot memes. Squawk dirty to me. -6900
Where are you from and why is your government paying?
Chair force?
What country are you? I've heard that airlines can't fill their planes on order quick enough?
Just realised I don't really got any of them on my phone. Not related but still funny
getting a private pilot license wouldve been 20K where I live and I don't have money like that. I took all the ground courses though.
Norway. Because we can afford it.
Nah, civilian. Getting a bachelor I'm aviation as well while I'm at it.
Doesn't matter that there's a waiting list for airlines to buy 737s, as long as a thousand pilots are trained for each one Boeing pumps out
Fucking really? Any option for international students?
over worked under paid,,,,fuck that
Cuz I'm 6'9" tall. Little pussies drive planes
They require you to speak a Scandinavian language, so quite restrictive. I know several countries have similar options as well, but you still need to speak the language. For example, Germany has something in cooperation with Lufthansa
Wow man,, I'll look into it. I'm moving to the states to get my commercial license, IFR and multi engine ratings, but I'll be paying a ton and working my ass off. I wish i could speak something other than English and Spanish, shit.
Because i chose a fulfilling life with my wife.
Sad and depressed
no your job is hotter
Not so fun with gf and kid tho
Fuck you
cause when they drug tested me to move to bigger equipment i had weed in my system. im on some blacklist now.
Pilot < Biochemist

Thank you, and very appropriate indeed.

You mean a Flying bus driver with a Overpriced education?

Kek
At least a bus drivers actually drives the bus, not just sit there.
I wanted to, and tried.
>be me, little kid
>decide to go military, they pay for my license, retire then go commercial, 2 retirements plus SS
>go Army for rotary wing
>fuck up my back
>disability, argue with the VA
Fuck.
Cause if the fucking pilot of the fucking Aluminum Falcon can't get it right, what fucking hope do I have?
Tom fucking Hanks has crashed. Twice. Would you be fucking comfortable being in plane with someone who will never be as cool as Tom fucking Hanks?
Sorry about that bro
