If you weren't a pilot, what would you do?

[gern_blanston]

I'm qualified to do 2 things: Fly jets, flip burgers. So I guess I'd be the "You want fries with that, Mister?" guy.

Lets see what would i be ? May be a Gotti they get to do who ever they want or what ever they want to do.As time goes now Landscaper working for my self going crazy when clients do not pay on time, trying to build up the company to a certian level , but not to big.

Returning to flying after having some time off, to finish my CFI ratings.Then pick up some stuidents to run through the winter down here.

You think flying in the traffic patteren is boring try mowing the same yard over and over, through out the cutting season.

I did like Fl6tj idea that sounded real good.

When my oldest daughter was in elementary school one of her teachers asked her what her father did for a living. Her answer... "Nothing, he's a pilot."

Once, one of my other daughters was asked what I did. She said that "Mom does everything, Dad BBQs."

I guess that if I couldn't fly I'd have to either BBQ or perhaps become a sheep herder. That's it, I'd become a shepherd and BBQ mutton.

I had a great job with IBM until I became a pilot.
Knowing what I know now, I'd be in real estate.

Before the bubble bursts, right? Not that aviation is a safe place to be hiding.

Before I became a CFI, I drove tractor trailers to pay for my flying. The work was fun and I made a lot of money. I am unemployed right now thanks to ATP. I am trying to decide if I want to go back to driving to earn $20,000 to go to helicopter school, or just hold out and get another CFI job to complete my time building. As a truck driver you can make about $65,000 per year if you run 48 states. I want to be home every night so I will make about $40,000 per year.

WX man- because you dont have to be good at it. It might rain or it might not.

Or a full time stay at home DAD. Wish my wife made enough money. Nothing better than spending time with my son.

Maybe real estate if doesnt pop.
