You still do, for a little bit
When I was nearing my end of obligated service as a Navy pilot and working through career options, I considered the airline route.
What ended any thought of me flying high were two long flights in a P-3 Orion where I got some significant left seat time.
F me running I was as bored as a Housewife from Omaha in about ten minutes.
Later, after I decided to stay with Uncle, as the Chief Test Pilot at the Sikorsky helo factory, we were delivering Blackhawks to the Army in Germany...four at a time in the back of C-5's and we had to accompany them and then fly the acceptance flights in Germany.
I got to ride in the amazing flight deck, complete with bunk rooms, etc., on four translants.
If boredom was music, those flights were Cher.
