I Want to Be a Pilot



​

I want to be a pilot when I grow up because it’s fun and easy to do. Pilots don’t need much school, they just have to learn numbers so they can read the instruments. I guess they should be able to read maps so they can find their way if they get lost. Pilots should be brave so they won’t get scarred if it’s foggy and they can’t see or if a wing or motor falls off they should stay calm so they’ll know what to do. Pilots have to have good eyes so they can see through clouds and they can’t be afraid of lighting or thunder because they are closer to them then we are. The salary pilots make is another thing that I like. They make more money than they can spend. This is because most people think airplane flying is dangerous except pilots don’t because they know how easy it is. There isn’t much I don’t like, except girls like pilots and all the stewardesses want to marry them so they always have to chase them away so they won’t bother them. I hope I don’t get airsick because if I do I couldn’t be a pilot and would have to go to work.

No, that was written by a GJ newhire in class right now.

Written by an ERAU graduate!!!

Considering how old that is, it was probably written by a retired United Captain when he was in fifth grade.

Doesn't this essay go back to the 70's??
I started a thread on it a few months ago, wondering if the kid ever did become a pilot. Someone checked in with a town name (in SC), but we couldn't get any further information.
