A single Job itself cannot hold the title "best job in the world" so i'll take this to be
one of the best job you could have. Yes, I did put forward it as "the best job in the world" but; its obviously known many would fit in rather than just this particular one. No, you did not make any claim of it being completely automated but rather heavily automated which still means majority of airplane control is automated which in reality is barely not crossing the 50% line.
I'm sorry. Couldn't get you there. Elaborate a bit if you dont mind
If you're in referral to classic flight control where the days DC aircraft and pre fly-by-wire then yeah, could say so.
Both. I've started my flying and I find it thoroughly exciting at the same time it isn't boring at all. Thrilling at your first, but never fades away. However there's still time for dreams to turn reality or like terms get more of an inner experience to the industry and profession. From folks I know who've caved in for years, there are good tales' of experience. I used to excessively imagine in my kiddy days but I will also agree there are a bit of downsides, but +more of the upsides weighed.
You're basically talking the same thing. Financial controllers, doctors in operating theatres.. they're all in an enclosed room/cabin working on a project/procedure for hours aren't they? Sometimes you have a view, other times not
Same journeys? I don't get it. Its like saying you can go around the earth and explore each and every place during that roughly, say what? 40 year average work span? You're getting paid to travel here. Over that, many airlines have varied destinations and some over 160 routes to choose from or bid, in better words to put it. So, for a person who loves to travel. I don't see how that can't be entertaining. Its not just the clouds out there dear, you get to see a hell lot more haha.
Specially in the U.S maybe, just maybe you end up working for a crappy domestic regional airline with low pay, then I cant speak for it. Must be the same thing over again, horrible layovers at hotels etc,. I'm talking about major airlines here. International. Put it better - sitting in a small cabin with the worlds view, up at 38.000ft whilst having sushi and double chocolate fudge cake cruising at 680mph.
It doesn't - to you, and a few. But to many it sure can be mentally stimulating. See... half of the time away from home, variety and all does cover up if you're working for a major, but to get there you need to get thru regional/domestic... bit of sacrifices to be made but I can tell it'll end up being very rewarding in the end no doubt.
Fun as a career for those that love the skies, have the passion to fly.
Again, its your opinion. Won't be the same of mine, or the others. But many do agree its a really cool job and one of the best jobs in the world. I do respect your views and opinions and like you said, fishing can be fun for many when its dull just to you.
