Good non-flying aviation careers?

[AirBadger]

Did a search but couldn't find anything. So what are good non-flying aviation careers?

I think Dispatching would be cool, if you weren't able to fly for some reason. There's a few of those guys around FI and you could probably run a search on that one and get some info.

Good luck with it, whatever you decide to do.

airline CEO .... the most incompetent you are the more you make and the more airlines you destroy the easier it is to get another airline CEO job.

Besides this motion sickness that I can't seem to get rid of, it's great. My instructor sees a lot of potential and I am close to being able to take my PPL checkride but a few minutes of turbulence in the afternoon and up comes lunch. Very discouraging considering how far along into my PPL I am, most people get used to it by now.

Flight Attendant.

An unskilled labor position that can bring in 90K / year top end. No license required, no physicals, no experience necessary (waiter, waitress, or service skills maybe a plus).

Why not try being a skycap? You can enjoy all the benefits of wearing an airline style uniform, you get to help people and you get to go home every night. Plus, skycaps get tips and they have groupies as well.

I always thought that aricraft sales would be pretty interesting. I saw some discovery channel thing where they would sit down with the clients and help choose everything from carpeting to engines for the new Boeings they were ordering.

So my vote would be a aircraft manufacturer's sales rep.
