Advantages of Being a Pilot
You’re work is where ever there is an airport, you fly out of the airport and the airliner will pay for a hotel for you to stay whenever flying for multiple days.
When retired you’re able to go and see the entire world, there are no boundaries.
Fun facts about pilots.Captain and co-pilot are made to eat different meal so if one is
bad or poisoned both pilots aren’t incapacitated.
