How many people here work in the airline industry?

[[ATA] APB Airlines]

I am just curious if there are any people that are currently in the industry. I am a pilot for a regional in the US for Delta connections so some people would say i am crazy for doing anything related to my work. But i figure i fly the planes not mange the airlines so it is ok for me to do this. (I dont play flight sim or any flying game because that is my work)

...then call me crazy too

[Benhuddy]

Half crazy? Studying Aviation.

Is this the perfect moment to ask what you are working?   


So, not to be fully offtopic, I'm studying business law, but as a child I always wanted to become a pilot ...

I'm in rehab, after leaving the industry in October   but I still try to keep up to date with everything that is civil aviation and hope to return one day

[[ATA] APB Airlines]

what are you studying? Management, atc, pilot or mechanic. Cant think of anything  else you would study for

[Dave4468]

Not yet but my real dream is to end up with a commercial pilot licence one day...

[GDK]

Future mechanic here.
Scheduled to finish all EASA B1-1 modules by October. But I'm not sure if I can finish it on schedule, flung Module 7 and Module 9....

LOL I don't think that counts as probably EVERY flight simmer has gone through DVA at some point. I don't think mine counts, as I will be going into pilot school soon (once I get out of stupid High School ) hopefully a US airline will accept me (I'm hoping for either UAL or Delta as they are the best)

I must be full crazy too.... I actually want to be an airline CEO.... or at least a route planner. I would die for a job like that. What specific degrees would I need? Management? Business? lol.

[[ATA] APB Airlines]

for you guys who want to be pilots what are your plans on how to do it. I might be able to shed some light on things. i have been an FO for 2.5 years now on the CRJ 200

[Sandager]

I am crazy too. Pilot, when not CEO of my african adventure here on Airwaysim

I think Sami flies A320s for Finnair   Not 100% sure though.

[coopdogyo]

I am gonna be working for an aviation leasing company this summer.

[Powi]

Airline industry? No thanks.

Aviation (as all things that fly in the air with somebody at the front)? That had paid my salary for last eight years.

Crazy? Absolutely!

I must admit this game has made me think of switching degree from engineering to maybe management (although we already do some management modules) because I think it would be pretty neat becoming an airline CEO (say, in my instance after flying for them). Read a few books on them, although mainly the low cost CEOs, would be such hard work. Trade unions dont seem to be their friends (see: Willie Walsch at the moment ).

[lospaziale]

Probabily one of the craziest because I work in the management of a big airline

But still love this game

[Quitzau]

I'm a paramedic... so I dont have any relations to the aviation family at all! Though I was a great fan of the flight simulator games - and then I love management.

Actually, in my sparetime - I start real world companies and sell them - just for fun!
