My Career as a Pilot

My Last Month in Pilot School.

After a long year of hard work, I have one month of pilot school left. I feel very discouraged, overwhelmed and in need of orientation. I've had enough of the continuous homework and assignments. I barely have time for myself. Should I keep doing my homework?

Choice 1 : I won't do my homework.

Choice 2 : I will do my homework and graduate from pilot school.

Pilot class

I won't do my homework.

Now, I have 2 weeks left of school. I am drowning in a pile of assignments. I can't complete them because I don't understand the course content taught in class. I have no motivation left to continue in my studies. Should I catch up on my homework and pull off straight A's or drop out of school?

Choice 1 : I chose to drop out of school.

Choice 2 : I will improve my grades.

No homework

I chose to drop out of school.

The thought of all my homework waiting for me when I get home is maddening. I'm getting sucked up in a vicious cycle of inactivity all day. I put aside my worries about school. I'm dropping out of school indefinitely. I am sure that I would never like to go back to pilot school.

Choice 1 : I chose to end my future pilot career.

No school

I will improve my grades.

I'm slowly getting my grades back up. My homework is being done, and I'm finally submitting all my late assignments. It feels like a huge weight being lifted off my shoulders.My exam week started and, I've been scoring straight A's.

Choice 1 : I will do my homework and graduate from pilot school.

Good grades

I chose to end my future pilot career.

My future career as a pilot has reached an end. I'm working a dead-end job that won't bring me further to a real accomplishment. I live pay cheque to pay cheque and regret having dropped out of school.

Choice 1 : My Last Month in Pilot School.

The end

I will do my homework and graduate from pilot school.

I'm staying motivated, and I'm getting all my homework and assignments done in time. One month went by very quickly. I'm standing at my graduation ceremony getting my certification as a pilot. This is the beginning of my new journey. I'm not sure if I'd like to start working right away or gain experience through training programs.

New job

I chose to work as an AirCanada pilot.

I work as the First Officer to the Pilot at $56 an hour as a starting salary. This time of the year, most of the flights we take are to the South. They're very quick and easy going flights as a pilot. In one month, I spend 80 hours flying for 2 weeks. Then, I get 2 weeks off until I go back to work. In my opinion, the only disadvantage is that it can hinder your routine sleeping schedule. There are a lot more advantages to this job that outweigh the bad. I decided to spend my entire career without a home. I was always travelling on my off-time and visiting friends and family. The end of my career is coming up soon. Where will I settle?

Choice 1 : I will retire as an Air Canada pilot.

All of my hard-earned money will have been worthwhile. My career will have brought me a sense of fulfillment.
