Well in spite of all that, I still enjoy it and I don't care if I have to get up early because every time I get through that cloud layer, at 6 am, I am blessed with the most gratifying view.
I got to work on small pistons, light turbine, heavy jets, medium and now on light ones. What an experience and what a level of excitement I get every time I get to try a new toy. Absolutely fantastic !
The money is fine once you have a bit of experience and you know where to look so apart from being the skipper of a cruise ship/oil tanker, there is nothing else I would like to do.
Guys, it is not easy to become a pilot but if it is what you have always wanted to do, it is the best job there is.
