"What is a typical day(s) like as an airline pilot performing their flying and non flying duties?"

O.K. Son...here's the scoop.

- FLYING...Fly the Jet. Pay attention. Don't kill nobody, most importantly yourself. Say neat Pilot stuff like "Gear Up!" or "Flaps 5." Enjoy your paper or, if so equipped, your inflight movie on your portable DVD player.

- NON-FLYING...Wait endlessly on Hotel vans. Hit the hotel room and convene 4 minutes later in the Lobby. Head to nearest dive joint or convenient Hotel bar to suck down copious amounts of really expensive cheap beer. ( $4.00 Miller Lite anyone?) Try to be witty and get young-new hire-dumbass FA to go play touch pee-pee with you. When that fails, go to your room alone, "release the hounds" manually, and then pass out.

- HOME...Tell everyone how much time off you have, how much money you make ( lie if necessary), and how many super HOT Flight Attendants you have bagged. Get on Flight Info and bash everyone elses airline, start a pissing match about something while snarfin' a brew, and then watch a good T.V. show.

- SUMMARY...It's the best part time job I have ever had. Who else will pay me to do something I enjoy? There are not a lot of positions open for "Professional Masturbaters/Drinkers" so this airline gig fits the bill quite nicely.


Now, in all seriousness, squeak through school, get into some jag off College and drink beer and smack booty for four (five, if you can wrangle it...) years, adopt a bad attitude of wanting something for nothing and hide it in a Sociopathic veneer of "YES, I feel I would be an asset to your airline!" get hired, and VOILA'....YOU TOO WILL BE LIVING THE DREAM.

Now that's funny!!! Great post!!
 
Hey thanks for the ignore list tip! Makes this much more enjoyable....

Think that there is some kind of "award" for the one who is placed on the most ignore lists?

I just came in here to tell no1pilot2000 to ignore the village idiot.

FN FAL is on my ignore list, and all I see on this thread is blocked posts by FN FAL and some responses by Fins UP who is actually trying to give some useful info.

Believe it or not this website used to be, and still might be considered by some as a way to get info about aviation careers. Not unsuccessful ones that cause people like FN FAL to become bitter, angry trolls but the ones where people are willing to share their experiences (good and bad) to help the people behind us make the right decision.

Do yourself a favor - put FN FAL on your ignore list. The threads you read will be shorter, more concise and will make much more sense.

Not everyone on Flightinfo is a dingus like him..... just the loudest ones.
