Job Satisfication Poll
Just to research the realities of being a commercial pilot, could you please answer the following queries.
1. How satisfied are you in your job as a pilot?
2. Which aspects of it provide job satisfaction for you?
3. How many % pilots do you know who are happy or disgruntled with this job. Moreso, how many have left it?
4. If your satisfaction comes from actually flying, then:
a. Isn't that reduced somewhat, when most of the flying is handled by the computers (in commercial flights)?
b. Doesn't it become boring after a while, just like driving a car does.
5. What is the intellectual stimilation from flying? Although a more complex machine to 'drive' than a car; once mastered, there doesn't seem to be much stimulation mentally.
6. If your satisfaction comes from travelling, how much actual time do you get to enjoy your destinations? I would imagine, not much.
7. Does the job end up being stuck in a computer simulator of sorts and hotel rooms?
8. What is the effect on your social life? For ppl with partners I can envisage affairs. For single ppl, I can envisage problems in having a stable relationship.
When I dissect it like this, it does seem boring; but I'm hoping the answers I get will prove me otherwise.
Thanks.
