Generally airlines that use cruse pilots often have a fairly diverse network of routes. Eg Cathay... so even though you won't do any flying the difference in routes will provide that much needed stimulus to the work place.

With Silverjet as a Cruise Pilot, you are only probably going to operate on a very small selection of routes (unless they expand significantly). People are talking about experience etc but just what experience are you going to get sat in the cruise doing the same route trip after trip? The only decision you are likely to need to make is do we go left or right to get round that CB?

To sum up - if Silverjet had a diverse route network then it could be an interesting place to be a cruise pilot. Lets look at it from a different way - if you decided to move on from Silverjet imagine how you could describe your current role to your potential employer

• Do the same route or limited selection of routes!
• Potentially rusty flying skills!
• Limited oppertunities for gaining new experience.

Tempting catch for a new employer?
