Pgirl is hilarious. Is she also a comedian? Don't the NJA owners "expect" the best pilots to be flying their rich, lazy a$$es around? Well, you get what you pay for....

I fly to meet chicks. One mistake in a chain of many more to come. Is "pgirl" really "j3guy" reincarnated?

 

[El Chupacabra]

If you like to fly, for Pete's sake, don't do it for a living. Do something else that pays well and gives you lots of time at home with family. Then buy a plane and fly for enjoyment.

A job, or a passion

Pgirl, you've actually asked a pretty good question. I spent 8 years flying in the Navy another 27 flying for an airline and I own and operate my own aircraft. I love to fly and have never been sorry I chose the profession. However, I will tell you that the profession is full of people who don't really love to fly. They have a million other things to do and flying is a way to support their real interests. They really can't understand where you are coming from. Your post is incomprehensible to them, thus the humor.

There are some really skillful airmen who would rather be doing something else. Every minute they are in the cockpit is a minute they are not doing what they want to do, be it playing golf, talking to their stock broker, or taking care of their families.

They fly because it is a lucrative job (but it never seems to be good enough). As the salaries spiral downward, fewer and fewer of these people will be choosing our profession. I think you will see a greater percentage of pilots that love to fly as the job will be more love than money in the future! Maybe this is a good thing.

Pgirl, if you love to fly, stick with it. The best job in the world is the one you love. Or said a different way: "If you do what you love, you'll never have to work a day in your life".
