February 10, 201313 yr This video really glamourises it - you'd be surprised just how non-glamorous the life that flying for 'airlines' actually is - in particular a low cost carrier. Craig Harris 'NG Driver' for an airline whom shall not be named...
February 10, 201313 yr Moderator Oh, the "shine and glamour" of being an airline pilot wore off back in the late 60's to early 70's, when corporate started treating the cockpit crew as if they were Greyhound bus drivers or 18 wheel truckers... :angry: Fr.

February 10, 201313 yr Just got an offer to go back into the small stuff and I am jumping. Airline work is too hard for me! I enjoy my 250 days off and exotic locations with corporate. Good luck with the future endeavours!!! ^_^ :wink: :Applause: Rónán O Cadhain.

But Yes goodluck Chris and hope all is well for you! Anyway off to bed I go, got another day of the o'Leary and co show.... Craig Harris 'NG Driver' for an airline whom shall not be named...

Probably true, but I don't think 9 to 5 behind an office desk is so glamorous either! :smile: "Society has become so fake that the truth actually bothers people".

According to some TV programs, it can be quite exciting... Henri Henri Arsenault
February 11, 201313 yr I am a truck driver in north america and i can tell you that what you see on tv is pretty much made up. It is like airplane flying 99% bordom with nothing exiting punctuated by momenys of sheer terror. Sent from my Galaxy SIII using Tapatalk 2
February 11, 201313 yr Moderator Absolutely no offense was intended to either Greyhound bus drivers or truck (lorry) drivers... On the contrary, my ire is directed towards the corporate suits who treat these worthy persons as though they were mere serfs (which any serf will tell you is actually worse than slavery)... :wink: Fr.
