The guy you find and network with. There are no free lunches in this business.

 

'Found' you, didn't I?

 

Sorta I don't work at that airport anymore. Its one of those I refueled their planes two years ago deals.

 

Well, no one can make you do this.

No one can do this for you.

Everything in life is hard. "If it weren't hard, everyone would do it. It's the HARD that makes it GREAT."

Sounds like you don't like people or interacting with them and you want a career where you are on your own. FYI, you can't do this as a career without other people. In fact you NEED other people, and thinking you don't is plain dangerous.

Based on what you said, I wouldn't fly with you. Bad attitude, no work ethic, don't like people, thinking you deserve something you haven't earned, (entitled), ect... That's what a potential employer hears and doesn't like.

I think you are better suited for air traffic control. But you will still have to work with people.

Based on the way you are as a person right now, you will have a very difficult time making your way in life because you will ALWAYS have to work and interact with other people. BUT the good news? You actually have the power to control this. My recommendation is that you seek out a qualified life coach who can help you with tactics and strategies that will make you more comfortable and capable when dealing with people and yourself. Business professionals utilize this service all the time to overcome their shortcomings in order to progress in their professional and personal lives.

I wish you the greatest of luck. I hope you overcome these setbacks and grow as a person. Reading this made me angry because I worked so hard to make this industry my career and your whining about it not being easy is truly obnoxious. Aviation is the greatest club on earth, and being part of it has been the privilege and joy of my life. It was very hard and I am damn proud of myself for having fought the fight. If you want to be a part of it you will be welcomed with open arms by many as a fellow aviator. But you have to pay the dues. And the dues can be hard.

You decide.

Ps, don't like your mom.

 

Nice response, thank you. Everything in life is hard as you mentioned, but I think it's even harder for me. I like music without lyrics because, I could careless what people sing about, I want to create my own story from the melody. I think the Airline Pilot bubble that I dreamed about it has popped. I still enjoy flying, and maybe you are right, I would not do good in a crew style position. But there is hope that I can change, I would be happy flying 135 or just being a weekend CFI. I don't like to cling to people, I enjoy my privacy. Maybe you are right, I might be selfish/too much in my head.

My Mom knows me best, there is nothing wrong with being honest.

 

Wow, not in the good way.

 

That whole post inspired my new avatar. I don't know what to tell you bud, professional piloting is a customer service job. No matter what job you take in this business you'll need to learn how to deal with people. The 135 world is more times than not, more involving with people than the airlines.

 

What dose your avatar mean? I understand that and can deal/fake it to some extent. But it's not as much as being a Flight Attendant or a ticket agent for example.

 

So you want a job where you have to constantly either 'deal with it' or 'fake it' on a daily basis?
Doesn't sound like a decision one would make with other choices available. Pretty much sounds like you are setting yourself up for a miserable life.
I'm thinking getting some professional help might be in order.

 

My avatar is the majority of this thread trying to give you sound advice and running out of ideas fast. You can't expect this business to change for you, you must learn to adapt for it. I think we all would like to give you that golden answer but really this all comes down to how bad do you want it and how hard do you want to work? I think you can try a bit harder than you sound like you are.
