So why do you want to be a pilot?
Am I the only one who hates this question? You definitely get asked it if you go to a big FTO but I find its incredibly hard to answer. They don't want you to say it's because "I love flying" but what other reason is there? In this day and age there are in my opinion precious few logical reasons too becoming a pilot, logically and monetarily you'd be far better off becoming an air traffic controller or countless other professions.
So why do we have this dream when we are all aware that the romantic image of a pilot that is imbued in us doesn't really exist?
Come on guys and gals, what are your reasons?
