Ah! That sought after and vaunted “airline pilot job!”
Has anyone discussed how boring it can be?
Clearances are automated… auto pilots handle SIDs, enroute, STARs and approaches… those “burning blue skies” start looking a tad too familiar; kinda like “white line fever” for those of you out there that drove long haul trucks at night … your life is confined to an area barely larger than a small bathroom.
But you say “the money is fantastic!” That is, of course, until you’re slapped with divorce papers because your “significant and darling” other has decided your lengthy absences are too much to handle ….
…. and as you make your way up the jet bridge through a throng of passengers just to use a real restroom or get a bite to eat, you begin to wonder “maybe those days on that musty, dusty flight school sofa dispensing wisdom to 2 or 3 students were some of the best days of my career.”
