:cool: It took me 27 years after getting hired to make it to the 747-400. Taking off and landing the 400 is a lot of fun. Laying over in London, Rome, or Singapore is cool. Cruising for 13 hours is not, or feeling tired all of the time. You fly the 747 in two conditions; either the sun is directly in your face or it's dark and the sun is about to come up and shine directly in your face. If you want to fly across the water, shoot for the Caribbean or California to Hawaii. Having said that though, I wouldn't have traded it for anything else.

Yeah, that's one of three books he wrote, I just ordered my first copy...

In my 21 year journey from DC-3,through Convair 340,through B727 (domestic and internatonal),to my shiny CitationXL/XLS,I can truly say it has all been good !!!! and flying the Aeronca Champ is in some ways the greatest gift of all. Godspeed !

I was lucky to have the opportunity to be able to go from a 152 to an E190 if all goes well and I pass my Sim in January... crossing fingers!!!!!!!!!!!

It is all possible, also be willing to change your plans and enjoy the ride, I have only been flying for 5 years but I can tell you the most miserable people you meet are the ones that are wishing they were somewhere else all the time.

To each their own, one man's trash is another's treasure and so on. :)

One of the neat things about this industry is that while we're all pilots, there are so many different ways to make a living as pilots.

In the words of ACDC, "Its a long way to the top if you want to rock n roll".
