I like the smell of airports
...in the morning. Smells like... victory.
Awesome.
Chris49 - was that your response to 'why do you want to be a pilot'? or was it that other interview favourite 'tell us about your favourite smells'
Having applied to numerous airlines, and been to several airline related interviews, I have asked
myself the same question (the pilot one, not the smell one) :
1. I love travel, but then if I took the job you are offering I couldnt really travel. I'd get paid to take people to places Pilots can't afford to go.
2. I love flying, but then your SOPs won't let me do that. I dont want to sit for hours watching a computer fly a plane. If someone/something else is going to fly the thing I might as well be down the back drinking champagne.
3. I love my family, but as you won't guarantee my base, or my roster, I probably won't see them much will I?
I've stopped applying to airlines/corporate now.
...Oh, in case anyone's interested in Chris49s 'smell' question (which I think is far more interesting and revealing), mine would probably be the faint scent of wood fire from a remote chalet somewhere in the French Alps in winter.
Anyone else care to share theirs?
