SEE THE SIGHTS

NOT ALL AVIATION JOBS ARE GLAMOROUS. SOME REQUIRE REPETI- tive flying and extensive customer service, and offer relatively low pay. Such is the life for a pilot needing to build time for a career. After earning the commercial pilot certificate and beginning a career, a pilot has a decision to make. To instruct or not to instruct? Become a flight instructor and you can gain the experience necessary to jump from there to charter, corporate, or the airlines. Choosing not to instruct may put you on the path to becoming a sightseeing or air tour pilot. Depending on the area of the country, the type of aircraft, and the company, jobs can be had for little more than commercial pilot minimums.
