Para-drop pilot.

Glider tow pilot.

One guy I know does number one in a twin otter...all day long.
You might say his job has many ups and downs.:}

Ok BOAC that's noted...pfffff! can you imagine after flying 22 years trying to put all that in a resume , searching the dusty log books...anyway all of you must know that very good book "Airline Pilot Interview" by Irv Jasinski , an excellent guide , above all when english is not your language!
