How sexy are pilots perceived to be???
 

According to a poll on News.com.au pilots are outranked by Accountants, Bartenders and Firefighters, methinks the blokes who pull beers to pay for their training should probably stay there if they like "pulling chicks"...Hmm glamour industry not so ehh?? The general public usually say "ohh but don't pilots get heaps of money??" yeah tonnes of it...

Indeed,

I personally think it is better not to tell furry magnets that you are a driver. Of course they think you are loaded, another urban myth?

The problem is, if you are a senior test pilot for Boeing like me (then I woke up!) and have a bit of dosh, you have to be aware of female parasites with a golden shovel.

If you are at the bottom of the GA food chain, they won't be impressed real quick with the associated lifestyle, eg. have to save up and plan ahead to be able to take your lovely lass out for dinner.

There are many options to the above delemma for the modern driver.

I have a mate who says he works in alluminum tubing, when asked what he does. What exactly is that? Oh you know, import/export!

I have another mate who says he is pixelator. What is that? It is the guy that puts the black dots on the good bits on those naughty movies. He tells people it is hard to do with one hand.

But he really drives B777's.

Would love to hear what the woman drivers have to say on this topic. For example, do your partners, like many of ours, suffer from AIDS - Aviation Induced Devorce Symdrome?

Boney

:rolleyes:

Ive always found the good old "dolphin trainer" line goes down a treat.... & if your really game u can get into it and do a couple of flipper like actions etc.. :O

Defiant.

I remember in a previous life at Coolangatta a couple of the guys tried "dolphin psychologists" with some cute blondes but come unstuck because one of the girls DID work at Sea-World!![the one from the add riding on flipper's back about 15 years ago.] :D:

Well looks like we have overtaken the accountants - should provide some good ribbing material with all my accountant mates!

Mind you, we all know what a pilot uses for contraception - his personality!

Personally, I voted for nurses - :ok:

:D

TL

When I worked on a Seismic Survey crew another lifetime ago the Vibroseis machine operators were all called
"Vibrator Operators"
Likewise the mechanics who worked on them were called Vibrator Mechanics.
More than one came back to work from leave sporting what remained of a black eye! And also more than one returned with broad grins and a happy disposition!!:ok:


You only live twice. Once when
you're born. Once when
you've looked death in the face.

I thought AIDS was Alcohol Induced Dizzy Spells... :confused: :} :} :}

Pilots sexy?

Me thinks that is an oxymoron

Firemen - well thats a different story ;)

Im with you TL
 

Isnt it funny how GA pilots always seem to hook up with either a Nurse, Teacher or a lovely lass travelling thru Australia. This is mainly the case only once you proceed north though. Southern and eastern states unfortunately do not share this mutually benifical arrangement.

N:ok:

The Dolphin trainer line ay. I never had to use that one down at the Pondo bar, the psssssssssst always worked me. Being the right colour also helped, and age was never an issue.

Pondo Pondo.

You're in the high speed aluminium export game :rolleyes:

Ahhhhhhh gotta love those firies.... and theyve been a lot more helpful and worth a quick peek or two than most pilots! Dunno what it is... maybe the smoldering quietness, that scent of burnt ecalypt (or house depending on where they last were) and the puppydog pleading look in their eyes - "please just can we do this lift quickly we're cookin in these fire suits!"

Pilots sexy? fellas, it aint got anything to do with the job, its about personality and a good chance theres never going to be greasy clothes left in the bathroom!

Tell 'em you are a Test Pilot for Ansell Condoms.

Never really worked for me though. Could never actually explain what was involved....

Are pilots sexy?????

If anyone happened to see some of the shemales at the Preists & Prostitutes party at the Auckland Aeroclub a few nights back there would simply be no question :ooh:

Errr, is that right sir.


I have also found the dolphin trainer routine to work quite well.

When asked I tell them I'm in the MEAT market. If they ask to be more specific, then I work in the Italian Sausage Distribution game. No joy so far.
TL - Your personality did you just fine with "clear props" mother at ommbie and "horses" mother at halls crack.
NOTLANDUNG - some even get to steal innocent little kraut hair dressers from angry pommy cooks too. So pilots are far more sexy than cooks.

Gettin' it at BAe
 

Yeah guys, sounds as if you are working at the wrong company... Try working for BAe Systems in Adelaide... we get it all the time... young Asian cadet (girls!) and fellow female instructors... Management would freak if they knew how rife it is... Cockpit chemistry!!!

Parablues, some of those management types started the trend!

Reminds me.... the 1992 QF cadet course where half of them used to travel into town, particularly the Seven Stars Hotel in Angas Street, wearing their "Qantas" logo-ed course polo shirts.
:yuk: :yuk: :yuk:

And Firies.... aren't they the male equivalent of blondes? ;)

(Waiting for the FLAMES from ex- and current firies! :E )

Come on people!!
You all know you cant be a pilot, thats just to cliche! For starters your have to be rich and have to be totally up yourself at the same time. If you want to pull the ladies, you have to be, and this is coming from personal experience, some mine and some my mates:
1) a bee keeper
2) the guy who paints the lines on the highway (usually only works in central oz or somewhere next to no where)
3) the guy who paints the poles on the side of the high way (ditto)
4) the guy who screws on the reflective discs onto the poles your mate just painted!!
5) totally wasted so that everyone looks attractive regardless of what you just told them!
