Aviation Brainstorming

Post by mariosabogal »

Fellow Aviators I'm Developing an Aviation Education Business...

I want to open up the brainstorming to my fellow Canadians!

What is sexy about Aviation... about being a Pilot... especially in the early stages of your career even from your pre training days.

Is it airspeed, going fast, going high, altitude... wings...

I'm looking for any ideas! Please comment... it would really help me out.

I guess that means that there are a disproportionate number of pilots on Tinder.

I totally have that list nailed: pilot/model/firefighter
I've only got it two thirds nailed then! 39 year pilot, 25 year firefighter. I'll pass on being a model at this point!

I don't equate flying with sexy, they both stir important, but very different emotions for me - although I do take my wife to nice places in the plane so we have time alone!

Hi,

As you can tell, pilots have great senses of humour. Not sure what the new aviation education venture will be, but I would strongly recommend not trying to portray or sell flying as sexy - especially in the early stages of the career.

Being a pilot can be a great job and can be a great career, but new pilots should go into it for the right reasons and know the good and bad about the job. Aviation IS sexy. But, it's also hard work, low pay, challenging hours and lots of time away from home. In my book, I've tried to be honest about the good and bad things about the industry and the job. While I've by no means made a fortune from book sales, I've had quite a good response from the fair portrayal of the job.

When potential pilots are sold on flying with only been told about the cool and sexy part of flying, they will feel betrayed.

I would have to say the sexiest part of aviation...is looking at myself in the mirror as I leave the house to work.

Revvin' up your engine
Listen to her howlin' roar
Metal under tension
Beggin' you to touch and go

Highway to the Danger Zone
Ride into the Danger Zone

This guy nailed it. I truly am what is sexy about aviation; that, and I get to wear pretty much whatever I want underneath my uniform.

"Aviation" education? I hope you realize that aviation is multi-faceted. What part(s) of aviation will you be educating people in?

Sense of freedom
Walking around and being paid to be in some of the nicest places in the world
drinking wine every where
smooth landing and a perfect approach
Everybody calling you 'sir' and laughing politely at your bad jokes
enjoying a sunny day above the clouds
