military route??

He's Right

Hey Rush,

I see by your ratings that you've probably never flown airliners in the 121 environment. How could you possibly know what it's like?

Inline, whether he's flown 121 or not is irrelevant. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that in 121 flying, you takeoff, cruise from point A to point B, fly the arrival and land. Every military flight, no matter what the mission, includes these steps and most of the time those steps are pretty mundane. They are not the "meat of the mission" in most military flights. What Rush is trying to say is that the "mission" is the exciting/challenging part of military flying that differentiates it from most civilian flying. I see from your profile that you've never flown military, so how could you possibly know whether or not Rush is on to something. It's just his opinion (and I happen to agree with him), so why not let him voice it without declaring him wrong. And before you ask...yes, I fly 121 airliners right now and I've flown military. For me, the military flying was far more exciting. As I age, I'm more attracted to the "less exciting" airline flying. They both have their place and the airlines definitely pay better. Cheers and blue skies.
