Hi people,
why do pilots in the civilian world always care so much about the plane they fly? Ist the pay different or what?
What makes it so much more exciting to be on a "big" jet and fly across the ocean for 7 hours (with your clearances coming out of a printer) and land once, instead of being on a small jet and having 4 short legs a day (2 of them with a VFR portion) and landing on small airfileds with short runways in some valley in the Alps exactly at the performance limit of the airplane???
Am I missing something here or have I been flying military transports for too long?
Can someone help me out with an answer here please???
Cheers, Olli
P.S. of course it's personal taste, I do not mean to offend anybody !!!!!!
