Best Jobs in Aviation

Gidday all,

I have been thinking recently about the many different jobs available in Aviation. These range from Airline, Corporate, GA, Medivac, Survey, Firefighting, Remote Areas and so many others......

So I thought I might pose this question.

Who has the best job in Aviation?

Now it could be you, or someone you know, but there certainly are a variety of jobs out there, so which do you think has the best?

Cheers, HH.

I could tell you about it but...

A) You wouldn't believe me.

B) You'd only get jealous.

The bloke hanging the sign out of the Iroquis at Indy/Gold Coast has (had) the best job I reckon.

Great location.

Spectacular view(s)

Home in time for tea and medals.

Currawong,

With regard to the guy in the chopper with the sign, I wonder how many responses he got? I mean Indy being Indy, I'm sure it would be lots.

Amos,
I must be missing something cause I am not sure quite what you mean.
"please explain" (said with best pauline drawl).

Cheers, HH.

C'mon, you're kidding me!

Devil

Interviewing for, and deciding who gets hired as air hostesses of course. Would be far more fun than choosing the pilots.

Talking

I reckon that an airline Safety Manager has the best job of the lot, on the days when he has to supervise female FAs doing a ditching drill in the pool!

Amos..............PLEASE.........spell it out!!


I had a mate doing a beachwatch thing in a C337. All he had to say about the gig was that; the aircraft had very good freon air and they had a pair of VERY, VERY strong binos!!!!

Maybe not the best........but I'm sure the view didn't lack at times!

Retired with enough brass to fly for fun when the mood takes?

Every job I've had has been the best job going around...I've had a ball...have said more than once "This is too good to last"...and been subsequently proved correct.

Come on Amos, this is like pulling teeth, let everyone know.

I'm guessing you will say it is an airline gig.
