One of my cousins who was a Navy pilot flies for United. He was a helicopter pilot and I’m sure that the job bores the nuts off of him but he has six kids including one w cancer, so he definitely needs the paycheck. He supplements it w some private contractor work over in the ME flying spy planes which is slightly more interesting but incredibly boring on the ground, they absolutely never leave the fortified base under any circumstances.
I’ve always heard that going from fighter jets to being a commercial pilot is like going from being an F1 driver to driving a Greyhound bus.
