Been flying private jets when I was younger. Very taxing and very competitive. Just couldn’t see me do it for life.
Always loved to instruct students, but doesn’t pay well and does get repetitive also. Also, I prefer smaller aircraft and was never tempted by airliners (that must be one of the most boring jobs I can imagine).
I am now living in the Philippines and have been considering getting back into the air, flying GA and as an instructor. However, same issue here: costs are high and pay is small.
The saying in aviation is true: how do you become a millionaire in aviation? You start as a billionaire.
I am planning to build a proper sim pit again with proper visuals, once it becomes available for MSFS.
And who knows, maybe I will get back into the air for real again, after a proper cost/reward/risk analysis that promises positive results.
