Aren't you required to spend 8 hour shifts essentially looking at clouds?
Can you even shitpost on your phone using the plane's wifi, or would that be against regulations since you're not at attention?
Seems boring

ex's dad was aircraft mechanic, learned alot about the industry while with her
mechanics and pilots, any and everyone who has to do with the functionality of the plane is heavily scrutinized and must be very very good at what they do.
Why? Because they take hundreds of peoples lives into their hands on a daily basis. If a mechanic has an off day and doesn't bolt something down right, hundreds die. if a pilot dicks off and messes up while in the air - hundreds die. if a natural issue arises and they don't handle it with perfect grace - hundreds die.
The place he worked for handled the private jet that crashed with travis barker in it years ago, after that happened there was a very very long and detailed inspection of their entire operation, it lasted months. At some point someone got fired because they left 2 bolts unsecured on a work bench.
Why? because if someone cut an engine on it could suck the bolts in and KABOOM
US Pilots don't earn near that amount.
Here in Australia, you need thousand of hours of flight experience to get your license.
That means that you need to pay 100-200k australian to get it the normal pleb way.
Or you join the military and get into the extremely hard area of flying. By then, you already have 100kAUD/yr and nearly the best retirement/superannuation packages in existence, and free healthcare, and cheap as fuck housing, I mean...
You're a fucktard, OP.
I drive past houses worth 4 times mine every day, you think I hate them because they know how to get a mortgage? No! I man the fuck up and plow forward in my own life and don't give a fuck about others.
I'm leaving 4chan, you cunts give me cancer.
I'm 16 and have 20k in savings plus asset value worth another 15.
Eat my cock, envious neet americunt losers. Learn how to life before you infect other minds with your soul draining nonsense and never ending onslaught of pessimism.
