A Great Way to Fly ?

Ever dreamt of flying a commercial plane ? Earning $20,000* a mth ? Actually any tom, dick, harry or SaMe** can apply to be a pilot .... though to be selected needs to go through a series of interviews, tests and screening processes

After all these, if you are selected ... is signing your life away time !!!! Bottom line is if you quit anytime ... you will have to pay a huge penalty ! Bigger than SaMe ... Once you put your signature on the dotted line ... you are ready to embark on a $20,000* a month job !!!! Okay ... not yet ... few months of studies ... tests .... studies ... tests ... in Singapore and in Perth then in Singapore ... then get the actual aviation license ... then get bonded with SIA for life

What does it take to be a pilot ? Interest ? ... With Auto-Pilot ... just press a button ... not sure whether it is a button or not ... so maybe just sit there shake leg ... wait for turbulence ? or another LOST crash landing ? or thinking where to party with the air stewardess after landing ? Okay lah ... you cannot doze off .... ( SaMe ** ) ... or maybe passengers will start thinking how come Paris don't have Eiffel Tower when they are in Siberia ?

#On the air#
#This is Captain SaMe speaking, Welcome to Singapore Airlines ... today's weather is fair and we will be .... zzzzzzzzZZZZzzzzzz#

Passenger Father A : *looking out the window* Hey son, you see the people on land are so tiny like ants when we are so up the sky
Passenger Son B : Dad, they are real ants, the captain fell asleeep

Pilots ... Steward/Stewardess ... high class of life ? More money ? Dark side ? Party ? Booze ?Drugs ? Degrade ? or maybe just a wrong perception ? Time to come we might come to know

*Not really you get $20,000 a month when you become a pilot ... takes quite a while ... but definitely more than a average joe in singapore

**Maybe not SaMe
