Airline flying ok... depends what kind...

Many different kind of airlines...
Quite a difference between commuter flights and long haul international.
With one you would do 15 or 20 landings weekly, with the other 3 or 4 monthly.
Cargo or passengers, you might hate one and love the other.
Would hate to fly a "9 to 5" - 5 days a week roster...
Send me out for 10-15 days, then I can have vacations when home for 10 days.

Funny is, when I was a teenager, I wanted to be a fighter pilot.
No airline flying interested me... I wanted to be at Mach 2 and 55,000 ft.
I left the military as soon as I could to go with an airline.
Initially, I liked short haul. Got quickly tired of that.
I flew long haul for most of my career. My favorite is cargo.
Did contract 6 month with Cargolux, and 3 month with MK... were the best flying ever.
What you like - and what I like is completely different.
I love Chopin, you like hip-hop and rap...

Happy contrails
