Golf Hotel Whiskey: for pilots and aviation enthusiasts

Video: The not so glamorous life of an airline pilot?

If you are thinking of becoming an airline pilot, check out this really cool video entitled “Life as an Airline Pilot (reality is a lot less glamorous),” which may or may not have you reconsidering your career options:

Its not actually clear who made the video and why, but it certainly does help to bring a dose of reality as to what being an airline pilot is all about on a day to day basis (without out even mentioning airlines going busts, strike actions, battles over pay/pensions, grueling schedules etc).

However, we want to ask our readers, especially any readers who might be airline pilots: Is being an airline pilot really as “glamorous” (as in pretty mundane at times) as portrayed in this video? Tell us what you think!
