Why do I want to become an airline pilot ?
Its a combination of feelings and rational human control over a very complex machine in a complex environment (operations, weather and passengers). Hey, this is not boring just pushing buttons !!
Always see the sun and exciting weather phenomena when you're up there. No pending "to do"-items after the day is finished. Just go home, have a beer and relax.
Well, only few of us fellow aviators finally get the big bucks, but so what ? I live from what I love.....FLYING !!!
Cheers
