Top 4 perks of being an AIRLINE PILOT!

Follow me on Instagram- / tapshi
Flying can be a very rewarding career, both financially and in terms of job satisfaction, but it is important to know both the ups and downs of the profession. It is also important to know what you are looking for in the career as this could significantly impact on the type of flying and airline you may set out to work for.
Flight crew undertake intensive and expensive training to develop a highly unique and perishable skill set. As a result, pilots are generally well paid, earning significantly above the average salary varying between around £30,000 to over £150,000 depending on seniority, aircraft and airline. The remuneration can vary considerably from company to company, but generally speaking low cost carriers tend to pay less than the flag carriers, and as one might expect, the bigger the aircraft and the further you go, the greater the pay.
Most airlines will offer excellent staff travel packages, with flag carriers typically offering 90% off their ticket prices for you and your family. The rosters are also generally good, offering more off days than your typical Monday to Friday 9-5 job, and better holiday allowances. The downside to this is that you may find yourself seldom having a free weekend; little or no summer leave and bank holidays are just another normal working day. Whilst this may seem minor to some, having to miss Christmas or family a members birthday celebration year after year can take its toll. Maintaining a normal social and family life can be a challenge as you may often find you have your time off when your friends are at work or your children at school.
There are of course many positives and negatives to the job in general terms across the industry. Being trusted to operate a state of the art multi-million pound aircraft along side healthy remuneration and the opportunity to travel are some of the obvious benefits. You get to see some truly fantastic sights from the air - sunrise at 35,000 feet is something you will never tire of.
Different airlines offer different opportunities. For example a well known European airline offers a 5 on 4 off roster at most of their bases, and there are no scheduled overnight stops. For some this can be great if you are at the base of your choice and want to be back home with your family every night, but can also be very challenging if you are based a long way from home and are commuting back and forth on your days off.
There are on going debates about the occupations impact on ones long term health. Having continuously changing body clock and regular jet lag (long haul pilots) whilst spending a lot of time at a pressure altitude of 8,000 feet can be very fatiguing. Other theories about contaminated cockpit air and cancer associated with solar radiation continue to circulate.
Short haul pilots for low cost airlines typically start and finish their day at their allocated base. They do not tend to do night stops and therefore can expect to be back at home for the night. Technical problems or weather issues down route can of course have an impact on the operation which could result in an unscheduled night stop.
Short haul flights might last anywhere from 30 minutes to 3 hours. Medium haul is defined as 3-6 hours.
There are usually two pilots on short haul flights, a First Officer and a Captain.
A long haul flight is defined as having a flight time of more than 6 hours.
Long haul pilots fly all over the world and can spend a lot of time away from home. Trips can last from a few days to over a week. The constant changing of time zones can be very fatiguing.
Long haul pilots will typically get more days off than short haul pilots due to the amount of time they spend away from home and thus the need to rest and adjust their body clocks.

Hello sir I completed my 8th standard and from my childhood I want to became pilot I travel a lot so most of the time I ask crew for I can I get inside the cockpit and they allowed me so that time I sat on the pilot seat I cried of happiness it was my dream .. your my inspiration. At this age you become captain

[@sulekharano1350]

I have also been passed class 8 and carring on with my 9th. And being a pilot is my dream , the love towards my nation and dream to fly an aircraft makes me feel to become an IAF officer , but the problem comes with my eye sight . And I was so disappointed about it and got to know to be commercial pilot and I will do my best to achieve my dreams , people like you are some of the best inspirations to me . We have our wings just let's fly higher !

[@ahzamrasheed1208]

Apart from all these perks, the most significant advantage of being a pilot is that you can never become non-essential. Especially during desperate times such as war, your requirements become all the more important, just like doctors and soldiers. And you can always work independently, you can open a flying academy either in partnership or all alone and can work until you die.

[@dac3397]

Perks showcased in a very unique way. Would love to see your Vlogs!!

[@keshabagarwal6461]

Sir you should talk more about engineers and ground staff because they too play a very imp role in aviation industry but are under rated. I am studying aircraft maintenenace engineering so it would motivate me and many more as me too. I hope you would take my suggestion. Keep flying sir. Love you.
