A few other threads on Pprune and conversations with mates have got me thinking about options for enjoying a career in the aviation industry which do not necessarily involve the 'normal job' of flying a 737 to Frankfurt twice a day. It would be very helpful to those who are looking to join the industry to be exposed to the other options for earning a living within aviation. I think it would be excellent if there were a thread on this site where pilots and others involved in aviation could give wannabes a flavour of their job. It would show the breadth of options available.
So, are you flying Air Taxis out of a small airport; towing banners from a grass strip; flying sleek Citations out of Luton; a flying instructor etc etc? The more interesting the better, and please give the wannabes a vague idea of how to get a job like yours.
Alternatively, seeing as this is necessarily being posted on the wannabes thread and may not catch the eye of qualified pilots and people from other areas of the aviation industry, perhaps anyone who has any interesting suggestions might post them as well.
Thanks for any posts.
Mods - you might like to sticky this thread if it takes off, so to speak!
