Para-drop pilot.

Glider tow pilot.

One guy I know does number one in a twin otter...all day long.
You might say his job has many ups and downs.

Ok BOAC that's noted...pfffff! can you imagine after flying 22 years trying to put all that in a resume , searching the dusty log books...anyway all of you must know that very good book "Airline Pilot Interview" by Irv Jasinski , an excellent guide , above all when english is not your language!
