Newly upgraded 767 capt for Qantas....
Sorry, too far?
If this is not a piss take, then it is very offensive to anyone who is an airline pilot or anyone else who has seen the light and is not an airline pilot. Maybe speak to some people before posting rubbish

Someone got out of the bed on the wrong side this morning!
I'm thinking Seaplane pilot in a tropical location. Shorts, shirt and no shoes every day. That would have to be the best pilot job. Airline flying is not for everyone as we all know.

Totally agree there XXX, thats my dream job, if only the pay matched the pleasure you got from doing it.
Flying to awesome locations, seeing amazing sights everyday, meeting new people everyday and being their guide/pilot on an adventure of a lifetime for them and fishing/sailing/drinking (possibly all at the same time) on days not flying, that'll do me Jimbo.

For me it would have to be flying for a wealthy family to exotic locations earning a lot of money doing as little as possible.
Something like a Gulfstream G650 or a global express would fulfil this quite well.
In all honesty though I think the best way to enjoy aviation would be to have become wealthy externally, and fly for fun.

Oh Piano Man you suck
I agree with XXX and the others, you only have to look at Piano Mans photos and you start to salivate. Good luck to you brother.
Apart from that I was once told RFDS was the best gig, is this true?

Mate of mine had a job living on a luxury Fiji Island resort, flying a Cessna 337 out to the main island to pick up guests. When the Island was empty (fairly often) you got to live in the luxury huts, swim on the beach, fish and whatnot. Very little actual work involved

I guess some people like that lifestyle.
In truth there is no correct answer...its extremely subjective.

Not necessarily so Chimbu - the statement in the box sums up my job perfectly!!!

By far the best flying job ever, (infinitely more fun than hauling rubber dog sh1t out of Hong Kong or carrying any form of talking baggage in any kind of large transport aircraft under any circumstance,) is to fly fast jets off big grey war canoes.
