An individual who possesses a higher mindset. One of the very few on earth that are given the great duty of carrying out what humans 1,000 years ago dreamt of doing.
Pilots are usually thought of in the wrong ways. First off, they are in no way overpayed, many earn an average of $20K per year and work slave hours with lack of sleep. They are also not "glorified bus drivers". I don't know about you, but the last time I checked, buses don't run on million dollar turbine engines, travel at the speed of sound, or have the ability to reach the edge of the atmosphere.
To become a pilot you must have the "right stuff" and a pure passion for what you do, you should never be in it for the money or the fabled women you get.

Aviation is something that runs in me and many others. We pilots can't describe why or how we feel when we fly, but we sure as hell love what we do.
