Pilots hardly do any work, they don't deserve money.
Ever heard of AUTOPILOT? These days all the pilots do is say 'Welcome on board this is your Captain speaking blah blah blah.' You can't even HEAR them because the speakers are set to dog-frequency, because consumer research has shown people don't want to hear some hobo up front drunkenly yarble about the weather. And don't get me started on those fancy uniforms, who the hell do they think they are.

As a pilot, most of your job is to look competent. Its your job to be self-assured and to project that attitude on to your passengers. Additionally, when everything goes to hell, its your job to fix it without anyone knowing, or at least make it look like that was planned.
So, yeah, the reason you think pilots don't deserve much money is because all the pilots you've ever seen have done their job well.
also, there's some stuff about numbers and graphs and reading gauges and shit

I won't be stuck at a desk helping people fix their sad little computers all day so I'd take the pay cut and live in poverty for that.
Also you don't get any of that autopilot stuff until way later on when someone hires you to fly something that is more than just a hunk of sheet metal with an engine strapped to the front.

You know I was joking, yeah?
Well that's what you get for joking in the exact same way that every other ignorant airline passenger insipidly complains.

Down the line, yeah. Right out of flight school I will be lucky to be making more than 10k a year probably.
this is why a lot of pilots join the military in order to get their hours
Unfortunately I don't have 20/20 uncorrected vision so I have to do it the hard and expensive way. The air force usually wants a degree as well, which I don't have.
Congrats, Bombs! Sounds like it's going to be crazy fun.
In semi-related-somewhat-similar news, I went ahead and dropped out of SCAD today. My fiance and I will be moving back to VA in a month or so (once she finishes out the quarter). It feels both great and a bit frightening to be taking a big turn in life like this.

Wait wait, are you becoming a pilot? Proffesionally?

It's not that kind of flight school, you idiot.
He's becoming a super hero.
Oh, but then why would you quit your job? Super Heros don't get paid much.

He's not quitting his job to be a super hero. He's quitting his job to go to flight school.
Do you really think flight school can be done as a correspondence course?
*opens an envelope*
"Throw yourself at the ground and miss."
Neither do pilots.

Maybe i should rethink working night shift.

Well, you do have to admit that about three quarters of a pilot's paycheck comes in the form of asspats and prestige.

16 months. I want to get a float rating too which isn't provided but that will be only a little extra work on my part.
Also if anything ever breaks or gets delayed I am going to blame the co-pilot no matter what.
Alright hold a basket out the window I will be there in a few minutes.

Protip. Everything is pronounced as it's written.
Congrats Bombs and good luck! :whistle:
My current job is almost over, I really need to take the next step up.
What is the best way of finding work?
Well did sitting on the internet and making posts about it on an internet forum do it for you?
You can cross that one off your list.
No, not yet.
Make it a habit to continue to look for work, even when you already have a job.
Silly goose.
Why can't we call each other nincompoops, it's more awesome.
Really? I heard otherwise. Especially Fedex and UPS pilots. They can make bank by flying on Christmas.

EDIT: man, fuck going to work. Why can't my job be staying at home playing video games?
This'll be you, Bombs.

...Royal Canadian Air Mounted Police?
Then they might have a military that isn't something to laugh at.
because they're crazy, bombing you from atop a plane, possibly waving a hat wildly and laughing the whole time..
Oh and thank you for all the congrats! I hope I pass the medical (which is all I have to do still).
