My reason for "doing it" is not very original I'm afraid. I lived near LHR, liked looking at aeroplanes. Late sixties, the thought of cheap worldwide travel, I did a couple of RTW's which at the time was pretty unique. Not anymore, virtually everybody and his dog have now flown somewhere.
The glamour of the job, meeting interesting people especially the crews. The opportunity to sit down the back of an aircraft circuit bashing around STN or BOH...free flying !!!!
Airlines were run by airline people, now it's just like any other business, run by business people.
I now work with people who are not the slightest bit interested in looking out onto the ramp to see what is there, they could be working in a bank for all they care.
