what is/was your dream flying job ?

[pilotdude09]

My dream job would be flying 737's for a carrier like South West or DJ. Actually i really like the 737-300/400's theres just something about them that i love compared to the NG's although the NG's are great a/c.

Dream jobs....

Hi , finished up in 1997 CPL , worked for 3 years as ground staff with SR , got a job with a corporate flying a jet in 2000 , worked for 3 .5 years there logged only 200+ hrs , now with a 737 Ng operator , enjoying it thoroughly , dont plan to do long haul on the widebody . Pattern now 4 days on 2 days standby , 1 weekly off which does not change , 3 years to command, doing Sin , KL and BKK once every 2 months from home is like a a welcome change. I am enjoying every moment of it. Dont look a GIFT HORSE in the mouth. The BEST PART.... I am home everynight with the exception of international sectors mentioned above.

cheers

CX777 Skipper...come home to Aus to a stunning looking woman and unit/house with an awesome view and fly my P51 5ft off the deck along an untouched strip of beach....
oh hang on thats my best mates fathers life...then again he is my mentor
Although i am a mustering pilot in the middle of Nowhere... it's a great way to improve your stick and rudder skills and enjoy the simple things in life and hands on flying..and the beauty of the bush.
Just remember why we pay the dollars to learn to fly...just because we love to fly...as an old pilot said..

.."if i had my time again, i would get off my @ss and get a real job"....

If we didnt like flying there is million other jobs out there....

If you got the passion then money is not the be all and end all...your doing what you love...be happy because some still flip burgers at 35+, wishing they did there dream job.
We are the lucky ones...we get to do what we love...there is so many different types of flying...if you don't like one type, try another...big cash or not you can't take money to the grave, but you can take the passion.

my few words...
