If you fly GOM,
- Ability to smell seagull refuse and corpses for extended periods of time in the sun
- Willingness to live in trailers for half of your life, mostly with people that are "just glad to have a job flying" but don't seem to have much in terms of a life.
- Abilities for washing aircraft after flying all day while being eaten alive by marsh mosquitoes.
- Diplomacy in dealing with passengers that ask unreasonable things all day and question your judgement when you don't do what they want.
- Willingness to sleep in small room with 6 other people with nasty personal hygiene and that you have never seen before.
MMMh what else.
After that, the flying over there is as easy as driving a car down a country road, only less enjoyable.
(I know this is more like an answer you would get at JH but I just couldn't resist, sorry, and BTW I don't work in the GOM anymore, I really don't know what got into me, glad to have done it, as it has helped me REALLY appreciate all my previous jobs!)
