Why do you keep doing it, Flying Career that is?
G'day All
Simple question, why do you keep doing it? Either chasing that elusive job and keep getting shafted or working for an airline that keeps shafting you?
Have been sitting back and see how angry people are about wages and conditions. So my question is why keep going and please don't give me the "cause it is the best job in the world", or "the view from my office is better than any cubicle", because at the end of the day after several years it is still a job.
I was doing it, flying professionally as a charter pilot, and couldn't see it being worthwhile for me anymore and changed careers some years ago. Earn comfortable money now, home every night and have an employer that values me.
My life is alot better balanced, and I still hold my com lic and get to fly every now and then when the urge takes me.
So what keeps driving you to work for less money, pay money up front, work rosters that are 24/7/365.
Don't get me wrong I love aviation, but what are peoples motivation these days.
