I agree I fly professionally because I enjoy it the day I don't enjoy it will be the day to hang up the spurs.
Obviously there are times you wonder why the hell you are doing this? a load of hassle,problems, things going wrong etc but other days you realise why you continue to fly?
before 911 I always used to go up front and spend time with the crew! I remember two contrasts! One captain could not remember the last time he flew a GA aircraft!
Another Captain when I asked what he did for fun pulled out a picture of a Pitts aerobatic machine from his wallet and proudly said that this was his baby ))
He said he flew aerobatics in his time off
a true lover of his trade and flying
