A couple of 1000 hours in your flight sim at home should do the trick, you'll be able to walk straight into a pilot shop, don a set of Raybans (Serengettis if you appreciate finer things) dust off your flight suit and helmet then skip on over to a job with Qantas.

The money isn't that great, expect a 300,000 starting wage, but the general team work and working environment sure makes up for it, in fact the same can be said for any company Australia wide.

Once you've been there a couple of years you'll have a grab at the left seat but it really depends on merit, being a company man really helps with career advancement so make sure you do everything as laid out in your OPs manual.

Most of all the comradery between Pilots in the industry is second to none. You always know someone has your back so life is relatively stress free. Just sit back, do your job and watch the money role in!

Yee haa

geeezzzzzzz giving away all the secrets in one post


Did I also mention job security?

Being an aviator means you will never have to worry about money again, so take out that second mortgage and buy a boat, hell why not a new Audi to spice things up a little, may as well throw in some jet skis for the kids too to keep the little tackers happy. Pity about the ex wife though, but all those trolley dolleys sure were worth it!

There will always be champagne and caviar on your table
