Friends: "So I heard you got a new job, you flying airliners now?"
Me: "No, its a corporate job. I'm the co-pilot on a Learjet owned by a private company"
Friends: "So, you fly around rich people?"
Me: "Yeah, if thats the way you want to look at it. Or you could look at it like they do; as a tool and business strategy to allow them to get from meeting to meeting over large distances in the shortest amount of time."
Friends: "So when are you going to get to fly the airliners?"
Why does just about everyone outside of aviation think that "flying an airliner" is the holy grail of aviation?
PS...to the homeboy that was complaining about corporate jets flying into Teterboro a while back...it sure was a pretty approach the other day.
