Aviation Jobs

Airline Pilot

Must not be easy to hear or understand while speaking to the passengers. Horrible jokes and way too much information about the flight are a plus.
Must remind everyone on the plane that you know they have a choice when they fly. They sometimes forget.
Must refer to all mechanical issues, or any issues for that matter, as a "slight delay". Seriously, even if the wing is falling off, just follow this protocol.
Must understand what the majority of the screens, dials, and knobs on the control panel do or mean. No one knows all of them, so just do your best.
Must be able to walk around the airplane in full view of the passengers in the terminal. We know you don't have a clue what to look for or what to do if you should find something. This is mainly for show and to provide a bit of comfort to our passengers. Look professional, you're not looking for your keys here; we hope.
Must be able to explain that the "fasten seat belt" sign does not mean your passengers have to stay seated and not use the restroom. Some people might not understand this. Accidents may happen.
Must not drink a lot on the job. Know your limits. Besides, we have never seen any signs about drinking and flying. Just don't get pulled over on your way to the airport.
Must be willing to spend the majority of your career looking out the window.
