    1. Free Time - Being able to "be on call" and still do your daily tasks.
    2. Flight Benefits - Free (or Reduced) flights (sometimes even first class)
    3. Thrill of Flying an Airplane - Being able to land/take off and LOVE the job
    4. Pay - Great pay and Bonuses (increasing probably for 3-6+ years) + Perks (401k, Profit Sharing)
    5. Experiences - Seeing new cities and new countries | Different types of Pilot jobs

    Before I watch the video, I can give a reason to fly. It’s fun. It’s something most people will never experience. Most importantly it makes a great first date. If you want to do it, nothing is stopping you

    You mention when you’re on reserve you have the opportunity to “study for work”
    I understand the industry is lifelong learning but can you do a short video on what type of things you study on a continuous basis.
    Keep the video’s coming! The episodes are motivational and educational as a future zero hour candidate.

    Thanks for mentioning my country Papua New Guinea. Yeah mahn, flying in rugged terrain especially out in the rural areas is tough.
    With those lil twin otter and cessna caravan. Its really fun and risky too.
    Sometimes passengers vomit and stuff, its something else.
    But if you love flying, that aint gonna stop ya.

    Hi Garret! I like your videos. I just discovered you Chanel today.
    A good reason to be a pilot is that you don't need to take work home.
    We, Pilates trainers (when you have some experience), we do not need to take work home either and we do not have much stress. Perhaps, being Pilates trainers is even better than being a pilot. 😂😂😂😂

      @pilotshazma 5 років тому +2

      Natnael Abraha It depends where you are living, ex some countries provide loan which can be taken. secondly if you really want to become an airline pilot and you have no money for it you can rather join the military (its much harder) to get CPL for free, and later on you can join any airline. Plus point, many airlines mostly take air force pilots to serve in airlines.
