Any Commercial Pilots here?

but if a computer took over a pilot's main dutys that would just be a waste of my life because I would be having no fun.

Well I can tell you right now it'll be a "waste of your life". We rarely hand fly planes other than takeoff and landing. Sometimes we barely do that. Some aircraft have so much automation we're nothing more than a set of eyes.

Cruise? Ha, more like snooze it can get so boring. If I want to go have "fun" i borrow a friends light single to go burn some holes through the sky. My idea of fun isn't exactly the same as my passengers!

[quote]Okay well I dont mean it by the way I say joining the military just for the pilot training. I know that you can get called into a war or anything whenever they want you to. I know they boss you around and everything also. When I was little there was two things, I wanted to be in the military but I dint wanna be on the ground but I dint wanna be a pilot becuase back then I thought I would crash. Now ive played simulator alot and I know its not exactly the same and stuff but I know that aviation is the top thing I wanna do and if any other job or anything comes in and I decided to do it ill be honest ill still fly even if its not commercial and its my own prop. When im 17 im going to get my pilots license because that how I want to start but the only branches I want to join are the Air Force or the Navy. There tough but im going to try my hardest for the Air Force after seeing the thunderbirds when I was 9 I loved the Air Force.

I am only young im 14, Freshman and ive already contacted the Air Force and Naval academy because thats my first plan but the chances of me getting into there are very slim and agian its tough but hey I have dreams 8-). I do have a back-up plan to go to College (University) and im looking into getting my degree in Aeronatical Engineering or Mechanical Engineering. I probally dont have the money for all the training and the Military wouldove been a choice even if I did becuase to me it sounds exciting except the bossing around will be hard but as the years go on im sure it would have to stop if your an officer but I can always be wrong. I know the commitment is long 10 years is awhile but flying for the Air Force would be even better as long as im flying. Im not a fighter jet guy thats not what I wanna do I wanna sorta fly maybe the C-130's, MD-11, sortof in that region.

Another thing well I knew I wouldent be getting payed 100-200K when I first started but lets say I do fly for the Air Force for 10 years after all the commitment and I wanna take up Commercial flying would it be an advantage that I did that than rather someone who joined earlyer from getting there training out of the military.

Usually when I ask the questions about the military I sortof put them in the wrong words. Ive seen the videos, and I know its only 10 times harder and they can pretty much tell you to do anything although as my Dad tells me all the time if I join the Military I have to be an Officer because he doesent want me to be a lower class, although there isnt anything wrong with it just to become a pilot anyways ill need College anyways and join the Military after College would well after Officer Training put me in that position as long as I can pass.

Thanks for all your answers also. Im dont wanna become a pilot for the cash anyways because if I did it would just take me so damn long it would be a waste to do that and I am doing this for the love I have this young for aviation.

Well good on you for having a plan at such a young age, when I was 14 I had no clue wht I was going to do, even at 17 I had no idea, that's when I decided to let Uncle Sam decide my fate, and it has worked out beautifully.
