anywhere with an old DC-3...but not for long, I would think it would lose its appeal after a while. I love the taildragger and would love to see the differences between the tiny 170 and the DC-3

As for Airline to work for...Probably Southwest, I know a few people who enjoy it there..or at least as much as a job can be enjoyed

And then Cape air....only if I could be top ten in seniority...I think that would be a great gig, make enough to live comfortably, live in New Hampshire where I am originally from and do some local handflying seeing the leaves change from the air. The seniority deal would just ensure the best QOL possible

The chance to fly a TWA L-1011 would be priceless.

Besides Frontier or Southwest I wouldn't mind working for a cargo carrier, but I'm not sure I'd want to have to go through a few years as a flight engineer - just seems like it'd be real boring.
Too old. Designed in the 60's. Even the brand new NG versions keep the look and design of the old cockpits. This is the 21st century. Even the 757 is old by these standards. The 737 is not that bad, but there are better aircraft.

Google founders' Boeing 767-200. What a fun gig that would be!

That's true. There's a big difference between a 737 and an A319 - just compare the cockpits. Still - I'd take flying a 737 for Southwest in a second.

Become an FFDO and you can eliminate one of those.

1. USAF - F-16 only. Probably make more the most commercial these days.

2. Somewhere in the middle of who treats me well, pays me the most, and has better than average aircraft.

Pilots only run from gate to gate to catch their commute, not while on the job!

If Pan Am's long gone - what's going on here (taken May, 2006):

British Airways, no doubt. Amazing airline, amazing repuatation, amazing service, amazing fleet, amazing destinations, AND amazing pay! What more could you want? I guess second to that would be Virgin Atlantic for the amazing flight attendants! lol
