DOES SIZE COUNT ?
I recently got invited to an interview for a Jumbo Job, but turned it down in favour of a position flying a small modern turbo-prop aircraft. Friends and colleagues told me I was nuts, but for me SIZE DOES NOT COUNT.
I love flying and the smaller aircraft fulfils my need to “fly”. No, I have not flown a Jumbo before and somebody said – “don’t knock it till you try it”. That feeling of a huge aircraft hurtling down the runway is awesome and the ultimate for any pilot !
I’d be interested to hear how other pilots feel about this issue. Am I nuts or am I rather part of a breed of pilots who enjoys the real challenges of flying, rather than hours and hours of long-haul boredom.
Lets forget about salary issues and assume the pay is the same - DOES SIZE COUNT ?
