you want to know what passion is?
quitting your high paying job, getting a miserly pay just enough
to survive but feeling happy about it.
loving to fly an aircraft is passion, understood.
now let's see, you love flying. you sign on but you spend your
days planning things, doings WITS projects, clocking USMS, doing
ground runs, doing air checks, doing duty. you barely make it for
your monthly flying hours... and you try to push for more flying
because if u don't hit those hours, you have no extra money.
then you have to clock currency, you have to go for course, you
sit in the stupid hot and cramped cockpit with the lousy cushions,
you fly the same old circuit everyday. you fly the same circuit so
that u can clock flying hours.
you love to fly, but damn its CAT1. you look at the sky, doesn't
look like its CAT1, so you can't fly.
your boss arrows u to do a job, you kena scolded by boss, your
friend asks u to take over duty.
the weather is so hot, you're arrowed to do a ground run. you
have to start the aircraft for 15mins and there's no air
conditioning, what's more you don't clock flying hours.
now, please don't tell me its a passion just because you're from
SYFC and you love to play military games and you like to go to the
bloody airshow to see f-16s break the sound barrier.
its a joke to see all this online when i can see the real thing
at my workplace.
all come out, black face, finish flying, tired... all looking
forward to finishing their bond and going to SIA.
