It Is Not Always Easy To Change Routes

Reading Cockpit Conversation for some time now I have to say that I’ve learned that even for pilots it is not always easy to do what they want.

There is some distorted image on many people’s mind that being a pilot means that you’re going to have it easy when in fact getting a regular job in a prestigious civilian aviation company on a regular basis is probably not so easy even for qualified pilots.

I’m usually in favor of working the less steady jobs and being a contract pilots would probably be my choice had I been a pilot but I can’t really speak for anyone else as I really educate myself from blogs and this is hardly getting the full picture.
