My dad was a pilot. He was a flight instructor, actually. Here's the long and short of it: if you like to eat, don't become a flight instructor.

If you have to wear any kind of corrective lenses (contacts, glasses, anything) you'll have a hell of a time trying to get any kind of well-paying job. Commercial airlines aren't keen on taking people with less than 20/20. That's what did my dad in. He absolutely loves to fly, but he could never get anything past instruction.

Hi Haidon. Thanks for the reply :)



Funnily enough commercial airlines don't interest me so much I was kinda wondering about light aircrafts really, in particular being one of those pilots that flies over a burning forrest and dumps tons of water on the fire?!!? How do you get a job like that?!

You gotta have some huevos for that job!

Unfortunaley I do wear glasses for driving, and I realise this limits your choices as a pilot but any tips hints or anecdotes you may have I'll be really grateful for.

Cheers Haidon

I imagine you need to get trained, then get bunch of time in flying banners over tourist beaches to rack up hours for a commercial license and then graduate to crop dusting. From there you need to find that firefighting flightschool like the kind John Goodman ran in the movie Forever, or was it called Always? I can't remember. Of course this is all idle speculation from a guy who can barely fly a paper airplane.

He,he... I got some great paper aeroplane designs :)

When my dad retired we were going to chip in together and start having some flying lessons but he then found a job working in Brazil, so we put the idea on the back burner. But our initial enquiries all pointed to accumulating lots and lots of flying hours! That's what instructors use to accumulate their time in the air as you have to maintain a certain amount to keep you license.

I'm sort of interested in the varieties of jobs you could have from flying.

I remember the film Always I actually thought it a really touching love story, and I remember the whole training to put fires out being quite exciting, but I don't imagine it's quite like that... or is it?

Crop dusting though... hmmm... is it me but that sounds kinda fun too :)

Gorramit! I've got to learn to stop eating and/or drinking when I'm reading threads around here.

lol! I was thinking more nymph and satyr; always chasing, never catching.

For a silent movie, I'd do more like this:

*silently scream*

*run*

*trip*

*faint*

*awake to find self tied to train tracks*

*silently scream again*

Yeah :D and I'd be dressed in some sort of heavy cape sporting a big black bushy moustache! And laughing to camera and raising my eyebrows a lot!

*looking down at CallMeSerenity. Jumps up and down with excitement (undercranked style-E)*

*Then off in the distance where the approaching train can be seen*

*Looking back down at CallMeSerenity...She screams*

*Why. Is that pity in my heart?!*

*CallMeSerenity looks up...hopefull. Eyes big and bright!!!*

*The Somnambulist - overcome with remorse moves to untie the bound CallMeSerenity (Beauty indeed tames the Beast!!!)*

*CallMeSerenity with tears of joy in her eyes... "Hurrah!! I'm to be saved!!"*

*Oh no!!! Signal arm unlocks and knocks The Somnambulist on the back of the head! "Bang!" Knocking him out cold. He slumps over CallMeSerenity*

*Train fast approaching!!!*

*CallMeSerenity yelping "Oh no, help!! Help!!"*

.......to be continued.
