What is an Airline Captain’s opinion of the Flying Career?

Flying airplanes is a great way to make a living and there has never been a better time to embark on an aviation career. If you love what you do, you never work a day in your life. The demand for pilots and maintenance personnel has never been higher. Not only is pilot demand skyrocketing, but the pathways available to reach the goal have never been more clearly laid out for a perspective pilot.
You can choose a flight school that will fast track you into the right seat of a regional jet and from there the sky is the limit. You’ll be flying state of the art sophisticated equipment from the very beginning of your career. This, in turn, opens a whole plethora of flying jobs as an option. Another great path is the military. Beside a chance to serve your country, you will receive intense training and fly aircraft that often rival Star Wars for sophistication. For many that can be a way to get absolutely first class training and some amazing experiences before moving on, for others it can be a great career on its own.
