This is our life....our daily routine, our daily bread that the aviation is feeding us...
You can travel the world...dream of going to Africa... fly the 206 or the Caravan... unless it's your own...I worry for you... You have gone to Maun and Tanzania too...seen it all...knocked at the doors...sent email, CVs... got no replies or the usual,"we are currently not looking for pilots" and you are probably waiting for that phone call they promised you when you sent your CV or got an interview....which makes you jump to your cell phone every time unfamiliar number is calling you....only to find that it's your girlfriend calling you with her new boyfriend's number to tell you that it's over between you and her.... coz you have never been there for her...and that you lie, keep telling her you are soon getting a flying job...Yes..I mean the flying job...
If you have not yet broken up with her, your nightmare is worst... because she keeps asking you about when will you work...she does not know what's on the ground in aviation, she has this big fancy image of her boyfriend painted in her mind, sitting in the flight deck of a 747 flying to Hong Kong, London, New York....coming back to her with diamond reckless, hot perfumes... Why not, are you not the so call captain???? In bed she call you Captain, and you just wish she knew how it feels when she says that word, but you swallow and let it pass through the other ear....the more she says captain, the weaker you becomes....till you loose your firm Captain erection.... then the Captainous Wailing can stop...thats when you are reminded again...suddenly she ask you, "are you on final?" then you start wishing you never taught her those stuff.... well...you just landed, nice touch down on main wheels to another world of depression....
Your parents are even now tired of you...that every penny they give to you, they must make sure they first remind you that their bank account is dwindling...so you better account for it... they are not pilots...but very proud of you...who is not happy of a pilot son? But you sit at home, send CV around...they think you are probably just enjoying being with them and they think you have wasted their money they spent to haul you a brand new CPL...well isn't it your fault? Didn't you paint it in their mind that as soon as you finish school, you will get a job with the local airline...didn't you...well then...swallow it....take it...let it sink but don't get the rope...and head off to a Bamboo tree to weigh yourself....
Just at 18,19,20,21...you have completed school...you are a commercial pilot! Wow...!!! That's great...you are so young to be a pilot... now which airline do you work for?? They keep asking you that question...chanting for you and looking at you like Obama of pilots... you are a medalist.... but how do you feel... what about this guys who keep seeing you around with nothing in particular that you do, and not even going to school...are you not young...are most of your high school friends not in school? So why are you not at school...I bet you are a school drop out!!!
So what do you say the next time those fine ladies at the club ask you what you do.... a pilot...or an IT student? If a pilot...which airline....? You must be so rich..how much is your salary....? Ok, so maybe you are a lucky one flying for food.... ready to buy another round of a Martini....go...go...my pilot...go...
Do you still feel good about wearing your pilot uniform, putting on those 3 bars...well are you not a commercial pilot?
Do you still jump very quick to tell ladies that you are a pilot like when you were at school?
Do you still despise flying a glider for your first job? How about just being Steward in one of the local airline....thats if you get a chance to work there too...but from the look of it, our CPL lay a curse on us the moment we get it...
I bet you were better off being an economist since now you can explain "Credit Crunch" like you invented it...because now even a company that was long time broke put their blame on it....probably you are one of those guys who chanted Obama Obama when he won the election....because he is gonna change the world...make us get a flying job.... Things are real my friend....
How about this 500 hours that you don't have, but when you go for a job there are jobs, only if you have 500 hours and above...only to hear next week that they have hired a 200 hours pilot? well...no hard feelings...maybe you just looked ugly to the boss of a charter company....or you just din't speak well.... so no hard feelings... so accept it...it's not your day...our day will come, and i bet you will say it here on pprune.....
