But the airplanes are big and shiny!
The girls go weak at the knees when we tell them we're CATHAY pilots!
We get FREE sandwiches!
I'll be able to talk about REALLY technical sounding stuff like "Cat 3 ILS", "polar navigation" and "CPDLC" to lesser mortals...
Gosh, I'd do do this job for NOTHING, just let me touch those shiny controls!
Please please please please please please take me!
