The only thing that offsets all this is that if you're aerosexually-oriented... you'll want to be up there in the sky as much as possible (even if you kid yourself that you don't). On your days off (having moaned that you could have done with a couple more days rest) you'll be missing the flying. You'll get a buzz out of seeing so many different sunrises and sunsets, you'll enjoy the challenge of difficult weather conditions and you'll crave for technical problems to solve. You'll enjoy being sat at the threshold watching 747's swoop over you as they land.
Wow! Thats how i feel, and I *really* want to be a commercial pilot when I leave school
he would be telling me to just get on with it and stop fannying about!
My grandfather was in the RAF as well, he was an aircraft engineer and really wanted to be a pilot. If my grandfather was alive now he'd be telling me to get on with it and stop fannying around! Just go for it and good luck!
