I like the views and the challenge of being a perfectionist but never managing the perfect flight. There is no 'typical' day, and the variety in shifts and days off beats the drudgery of a 9-5 office job hands down. I get to drive a bus worth millions of pounds, and do a job that very few others can do.
Best of all though, you get to wear a really cool uniform and the ladies love a pilot. Nuff said.
