Travelling is one of the major perks of this career. Being an airline pilot means you have opportunities to travel - and get paid to do it!
2. You can't beat the view! From thunderstorms in distant clouds to never-ending blue sky, it’s easy to see why.
3. Travel discounts for family and friends. And in addition to airfare, a number of hotels provide discounted prices as well!
4. You can expect a hugely rewarding career; from taking your first solo flight, completing your first landing, flying to a new destination to overcoming challenges, every day is rewarding as a pilot in the cockpit.
5. Work stays at work. There’s nothing to take home once you finish your day and close that cockpit door.
6. Flexible working has always been a major advantage of being a pilot. It's not your typical 9-5, Monday to Friday job.
7. Being a pilot means constantly learning. With so many flights departing airports every single day, no two flights are ever the same - even when you’re a pilot.
8. Meet new people. You’ll be introduced to people and cultures you may not have otherwise had the opportunity to become acquainted with.
9. Salary and health benefits. Pilots earn competitive salaries with opportunities to further their careers in the cockpit or broaden their career path into aviation management.
10. Do what you love. And as the saying goes; ‘if you love what you do, you’ll never work a day in your life.’
