I felt proud of being able to give them a great experience
Huge satisfied grin springs to mind.

I dont reply much on pprune, but someone saying Im just a skilled work made my blood boil.
Id like to see a "Skilled Worker" Make the decisions we pilots make on a daily basis... aswell as flying the aircraft, us mere Pilots must manage people (crew, pax, groundcrew etc), make economic decisions on fuel/payload etc, managed technical defects and the rest!!
... I always say to people the hardest part of my job is making it look easy... Maybe I should stop being so cool and calm and make it look as hard and as stressfull as it really is!!!
You MUST be a professional in this game...
Would you let your family on an aircraft with anyone but a "Professional"???
I would say more but Id only be falling on deaf ears... or worse, upset Someone who doesnt know what there talking about
Ops! I did it again!!!

Are you proud to be a pilot ?
Bit late I know but only just caught the thread.
Here's the original text of Full Circle, EGHH (post 44) if you want it.
I kept it just to remind me what the job's all about.
Sorry it's a bit long but it's worth considering.
Full Circle.
One fine hot Summer’s afternoon saw a Tiger Moth flying circuits at a quiet country airfield. The Instructor was becoming quite concerned with the student’s inability to hold circuit height in the thermals and was getting a bit impatient at sometimes having to take over control.
Just then he saw a twin-engined Cessna, 5000 feet above him, and thought - “Another 1000 hours of this and I’ll qualify for that twin charter job. Aaahh to be a real pilot, - ---- going somewhere!”
The 421 was already late and the boss had told him that this charter was for one of the Company’s major clients. He’d already set MCT and the cylinders didn’t like it in the heat of the summer’s day. He was at 6000 ft. and the wind was now 20kt. head.
Today was his sixth day on, and an 0500 start, so he was feeling pretty knackered. Maybe, if he could get 10,000 feet out of them, he might find a wind advantage – sod these CHTs !
He glanced out momentarily and spotted an A321 leaving a contrail, way up in the serene blue sky. “Oh, man,” he thought, “My interview’s next month. Let’s hope I don’t blow it ! Out of GA, nice jet job, above the weather…no snotty pax. to hang around for ! P-F-M !!
The Airbus bucked and weaved in heavy CAT at FL330 and ATC had advised that lower levels were not available due traffic. The Captain, who was only recently advised that the destination was below RVR minimums, had slowed to LRC to try and hold off a possible diversion and to arrange an ETA that might ensure the fog had lifted to CAT lll.
Company negotiations had broken down yesterday and it looked like everyone was in for a bloody pay cut. The F/Os.would be particularly hard hit as their pay wasn’t much to speak of, anyway.
Finally, having just decided on a speed compromise between LRC and Vb., the Captain caught sight of a Concorde at Mach 2+ . Tapping his F/O on the shoulder as the 321 took another thumping, he said “ Now that’s what we should be on….huge salary….super fast…..not too many routes…. a couple of sectors a week……above the CAT… Yeah, what a life !
FL590 was not what he wanted anyway – maybe FL570 ? Already the TAT was creeping up again so either they would have to descend or slow down. That damned rear fuel transfer pump was becoming unreliable and the F/E had said moments ago that the radiation meter was not reading numbers that he’d like to see.
Concorde descended to FL570 but the radiation was still quite high even though the Notam had shown OK below FL610. Fuel flow was up too and the transfer pump had become intermittent.
Evening turned into night as they passed over the Atlantic. Looking up, the F/O could see a tiny white dot moving against the backdrop of a myriad of stars. “Hey, Skip,” he called as he pointed. “ Must be the Shuttle.” The Captain looked for a moment and agreed.
Quietly he thought how a Shuttle mission, whilst complicated, must be the “be all and end all” in aviation. Above the crap – no radiation problem – no damn fuel transfer problem – aaahh. Must be a great way to earn a quid.
Discovery was into its 27th. orbit and perigee was 200ft. out from the nominated rendezvous altitude with the commsat. The robot arm was virtually u/s and a walk may become necessary. The 200ft. predicted error would necessitate a corrective burn and Discovery needed that fuel if a walk was required. Houston persistently asked what the Commander wanted to do but proffered very little useful advice. The Commander had already been 12 hours on station sorting out the problem and just wanted 10 bloody minutes to himself to take a leak.
Just then the mission specialist, who had tilted the telescope down to the surface for a minute or two, called the Commander over. “Hey,have a look at this, Sir. Isn’t this the kind of flying you said you wanted after you finish with NASA ?” The Commander peered through the telescope and cried "Ooohh,yeah ! Now that is flying ! Man, that’s what it’s all about. Geez, I’d give my left nut just to be doing that right now.”
What the Commander was looking at was a tiny Tiger Moth bashing the circuit at a quiet country grass airfield in Berkshire on a nice bright sunny afternoon.
There's always something to look forward to.

Brilliant Sleeve, How True!!!.... funny enough I saw a Pa31 Chieftain the other night and thought, wouldnt it be nice again... I'll stick to the 757/767 tho
For what its worth, Im VERY VERY Proud to be a pilot!!!
What Im not proud of is the fact that the bean counters/MD's are treating everyone like crap and talking down our value to the company... Time to take a stand!!!
I think everyone who decides on Pilot Pay and conditions should do a long Night flight with crap wx all the way and Heavy Thunderstorms at destination and Min Fuel, maybe take the dog of the fleet and see what tech probs you get... might get some more respect and pay if they saw how it really is sometimes.
MRA4ENG.... I shall let someone else reply to you... Your not worth it in my opinion.

Biography is not destiny!
What makes the difference in quality of pilot life?
Considering different timelines, we all want to reach our goal! We want to be proud of what we have done both in our professional and personal career. Achievement is how we measure our success!
Achievement is how we take the invisible and we make it visible! We take what is our dream of being a pilot and we’ll make it happened. And this is the easy part. We know the rules and ones you know the game everything come pretty easy!
How many of you had the chance to interact with a pilot who had everything from the best flying school, the best new type rating and everything with daddy’s moneys and love and comforts; very often that type of pilot end-up complaining for the rest of their career. And then you meet pilots that have been into ultimate pain, spiritually, psychologically and emotionally abused and not always but often they became one of the pilot that contribute the most to help others.
Don’t get me wrong! Resources can help, but they are not the defining factor. Emotion or emotional pictures are the driving forces in everyone us.
So, am I proud of being a pilot?
YES, although to get chicks, it’s better to say you are plumber!
YES, because the emotional states related to sequence of different moments had created such a strong database of feelings that although, it is not difficult to picture myself with the plumber suite fixing some nice lady’s pipes, I do prefer to fly planes!

The supervision of people is very much a skilled job.
I trust you to fly me and my family because you have been trained; and because I don't consider it to be a complex task, I don't insist on you being a professional.

Whenever the subject of the "qualities of a pilot" is raised, the issue becomes confused by introducing the "qualities of a captain" into the same argument.
To become a successful pilot needs the academic ability to absorb and remember the technicalities of the aeroplane and associated subjects- nothing very difficult about that - plus the physical co-ordination of eye and arm to successfully control the aeroplane.
To be a successful Commander requires all the management skills and experience of dealing with people, operational problems and decision making that have to be absorbed and demonstrated over a period of time.
They are two entirely different things. You DON'T need to be a pilot to be a good captain - the RAF has employed non-pilot captains for fifty odd years.
Similarly, some companies (two that I've worked for) employ PILOTS who are very good at flying their aeroplane but not very good at exercising the skills of command.
So when we talk about the skills/professionalism/qualities/pride of/ problems associated with/justified financial rewards/etc, etc, let's be clear about whether we're talking about pilots or commanders.

When I was about 18, I use to go to The Airport Hotel pub at Manchester Airport and watch the planes land and take off. As I saw them taxi past the fence to line up for departure, I use to think that these guys flying those machines must have gone to Oxford or Cambridge and that they all had degrees and were the most switched on men in the world.
I left school at 16 with poor qualifications and I can’t spell to save my life. All I wanted to do was be a long distance lorry driver. At 17 I got a job as a van driver and at 21 got my HGV Class 1. I then drove trucks for nearly 10 years. 6 years on hazardous waste chemical tankers and 3 years for Eddie Stobarts Ltd.
At 31, I got a job at Manchester Airport as an aircraft refueller. It was there that the dream to be a pilot was born. Whilst being a refueller, I did the modular route and spent 5 years hard work during weekends and holidays getting my Commercial Pilots License.
I was an aircraft refueller for 9 years and then in April 2007, I got a lucky break and got a job flying 737’s for a UK holiday company. Today is my last day with them as I am being made redundant. I start for a Middle East company in 2 weeks time going onto thier 777 fleet.
I was out with a friend of mine this week who is a massive plane spotter and I explained to her what I used to think about the pilots I used to watch at Manchester when I was 18. I told her that I thought you must have been to Oxford or Cambridge and have a degree etc etc to get a job as a pilot, but now I know its just not true. She said she thought the same until she met me. I could not stop laughing and she felt bad LOL. I was pleased as I am still the same person and the job has never and never will go to my head. I and my family are very proud of what I have achieved.
How do I feel when I walk through the terminal with my uniform on, I feel good and I think I deserve to. I worked hard to get here.
During work, I love meeting new people and just being myself. I like having a laugh and when anyone asks how I got into flying, when I tell them my history, they are shocked. They can’t believe that someone who used to be a truck driver is now flying 737’s
I am soon to be flying 777’s for that airline you keep seeing advertised on Sky News.
Am I proud, yes I am. Why, because I struggled in school and worked hard to get here.
Do I love my job, I don’t have a job, I do something I love and get paid for it.

the difficult part is fixing it..................which is where the Professional Engineer comes in.
MX came and changed the gauge ('its almost everytime the gauge', mx said)
Next day, same problem. Called mx. 'oh, they must have sent us a faulty gauge'.
Being curious, I used a mirror to check S/N's between emer gear blow down and emer brake bottle. Sure enough the highly skilled and trained engineer (a person that is allowed to sign stuff, I shall add) had changed the wrong gauge.
It seems to be VERY difficult to read discrepancies properly and act accordingly.
So hat off to you, sir, I´m suitable impressed by the hardships and great responsibility you have in your fast moving enviroment.
Irony mode off...
Actually I have great respect fo mx engineers, ATC people, met office guys, baggage handlers, tow tug drivers and all the other guys making my little world work, but I´m not allowing them to lower my part of it.
Making the flight experience looking and feeling seamlees is my goal, considering the fact with what I sometimes have to put up with I´m kinda proud sometimes. (ever tried a 20 minute turnaround at UUEE in winter?) Haven´t had a flying accident yet, another thing I feel good about.
As a coorperate pilot I do have more than just a few hats on, managing not only the flying, but doing flight prep, getting permissions, airport slots, order handling, Hotels, Catering, Fuel, do emission trading etcetc. and all of that cost effective I guess my skills are somewhat more than that of a skilled worker (but yes, flying itself can be taught to a lot people)

Most of the above is true, except for the two obvious Trolls.
The sad part is, the lot of the professional pilot took a serious dive when the beancounters wrested control from more far-sighted managers. Things will not improve until Joe Public pays a reasonable price for his airline ticket.
That is the quandary.

No. I'm bored out of my t!ts, demoralized, perpetually tired and my kids cry whenever they see me put my uniform on because they know they won't see daddy for another few days. I hate this job like poison and I have every intention of walking away from the whole thing in another few months - as soon as I've paid off the last of the house size sums of money I borrowed to get here 
. I will honestly go back to manual labouring or my previous life as a car mechanic or something, it will be worth it to live in a civilized country, have a good nights sleep and rediscover my family.
I must have been mad ...

Not anymore
The Return on Investment (ROI) is very low. Today pilots work longer hours and payed less, also add to the fact airlines really abuse them.
A colleague the other day was telling me how his son with a 2000 Euro course has got a job raking him in 3-4 times more than a pilot working with computers, from home!
My suggestion to any young person even thinking of becoming a pilot is to talk to as many pilots they can to get a real idea of what it is like. then go and get a degree in business and become an entrepreneur and eventually buy your own plane.
I remember my first flying job: my boss was 27 and owned and flew his own little Cessna Citation. He had fun and earnt lots more money than a B747 TRE.

Poor job. Low pride.
Many of my colleagues are unhappy, but stuck in their positions. Flying is no different from other jobs in that respect. Pressure from management, pressure from crew, and the 6-monthly pressure from LPC/OPC's, not forgetting annual medicals and Line Checks. All of this is to be faced while pay goes down in real terms.
This results in a poor level of pride for too many folks flying heavy metal. Thankfully, most take a pride in their professionalism, which is a different thing.
(As for living the dream, the dream died a long time ago....we were all keen as mustard to begin with. No longer)

I'm happy. Jacked in the 757/767 5 years ago to go back to helicopters. Now flying air ambulance and police shifts covering other people's leave and training absences. Every day is different, some days are tediously boring, some we are run off are feet.
No security nause, we just wander out to the aircraft and go flying.
Sure the money is a lot less. I'm glad I did the airline thing from F27 to 767, but I don't really want to go back (yet...never say never!)
I'm proud to be a pilot, yes...

I used to work in mobiles....text messaging machine used to cost 1 million -now you can buy the whole network for a million.
our product has been cheapened so much....my parents got a flight to Spain for a wedding gift and they said it was like winning the lottery, now it would be thrown back at you.

Airlines need to jack up the wages they're paying us then.
It doesn't matter if people are treating flying as their god given right. The fact is, it's a privilege, take a train if the time isn't as important, maybe a boat. Even if the prices are higher, people will still have to fly.
