Unfortunately momo95, with the career path you are choosing you will never get to fly an aeroplane. You will just sit in one and do every other take off and landing. It is a career which will be as boring as bat****e. But you won't realise that, as you will never know what you have missed out on.
Real flying happens outside of the airlines, in the military, Bush flying, aero medical and the like.
My flying stopped almost two decades ago when I joined an airline. Since then I have basically flown the same hour 13000 times. And I have been lucky enough to fly several types to help stop some of the boredom.
When flying with those that know nothing other than airline flying, you can not sit about and talk about flying stories of the past as they have none. This is a sad reflection of where this industry has gone. I honestly feel sorry for those starting a career today as all the good stuff has been stripped away.
