I dream about how one day I'll get on that flight deck, after finishing a grueling 12-18 months of training... and I was just wondering about what airline (if i had the choice of ANY) I would like to work for...

I fancy Virgin Atlantic, so who would you guys like to work for???

Not really an airline, but British Antarctic Survey.

no sponsor
31st Jan 2008, 21:12
Yep, I'd quite fancy the British Antarctic flying, or maybe a seaplane job in some pacific island.

I'm hoping for Concorde, don't mind if it's with BA or Air France....

:}

Failing that, Virgin would be pretty good methinks :ok:

Ah..ta-be-shure Irish Stu, ..you’ll be fine with a wee Concorde job!

I hear farmer Pat O’Malley in Antrim has ‘procured’ a Concorde to spray his potato crops.

The take offs and landings should be fine as long as you go along the furrows and not across them!:)

Wow, everyone has got such different opinions!

Corcorde eh, I'm sure there wouldn't be much of the field left after you've sprayed it! lol.

FlyBe for me but I won't be in a position to be choosy.

Good luck to all with your dreams

I think the Dash 8 is kinda cool actually... :O

Funny that someone mentioned Virgin Galactic, wonder what the pilot requirements are for that. Must look it up...

(Please don't hurt me :P :() For a first job I would like to fly for an airline like Ryanair or Easyjet... Don't know why I just think it looks good, however I'm well aware there are a lot of problems behind the scenes.

In the future I would like to end up on the 767 or 777 flying routes into the states and Canada.

Hi Davina,
I see your nearby!!

Being honest.. after pilot training I will be happy to fly with whoever.. I'm getting into it for the flying.. so i'll be happy.

Although have to say going into BA would be pretty Dandy.. if not that flying for Air Southwest based at Newquay sounds pretty awesome :cool:

Long term... either BA or VA if I had my way.
But who knows!

Take care.

Owww, I'm sure once your in the door and settled a good living can be made from Ryanair, I just don't think they do themselves any favors sometimes from their penny pinching ways. I'd work for easyjet in a heartbeat though, mind you I wouldn't exactly say no to ryanair either! :O

3rd Feb 2008, 16:22
To be honest, I wouldn't really care who I flew for, it's far to easy to say; "I'm going to fly for _________ when I qualify". At the end of the day its whoever offers you the job lol

The only airline I would have real concerns working for, would be FlyBe. I went to their open day at Glasgow Uni and wasn't very impressed. I don't fancy getting stuck on the props, although I'm sure they would be great to fly, it's just not what I want to do.

Don't mind who I start off with but I'd love to end up with BA or virgin doing long haul.

But preduk.. isn't flying..... flying?

Props are a very good way of hour building. I certainly wouldn't say no. :}

Spam,

You could say that about most things in life, surely driving is driving? Surely you should get the same experience driving a Ford Focus as you do driving a Range Rover, but you don't.

To me there are different levels of flying and I think jets are better than props. I'm not an airline pilot so that opinion doesn't really go for anything, I'm sure there will be many pilots that think I'm way off. :rolleyes:

Loganair , Twin Otter, Glasgow - Barras. Spot on :p If not, easyJet is favourable, but truthfully anyone who'll have me! :}

BA, Lufthansa or Virgin Atlantic would be nice eventually, but i'd be happy with nearly any airline to start with.

I hear you Eire-Planer it would be nice, I would take anything I was given, even a paper airplane. In Fantasy land I'd like Emirates or Virgin Atlantic.

I would love to work for Stevens Express Leasing Inc. I would fancy going to destinations such as Afghanistan and Cuba but also to stop for "refuel" in the former eastern Europe. I also believe that I could go the extra mile in order to make sure that the "pax" can enjoy a VVIP environment. Rumours say that all "pax" so far recommend the company to others. Yet, I don't understand why they insist not to include the VVIP pax when filing the flight plan?
