I Give You Randomness!

I miss holding Loverboy's hands. I hope he flies back soon. I IS MISSSSSSING him. I wanna see his smally, silly eyes now!

As an aside, I don't know how the topics of salaries came up but now I know JAL pilots earn way more than SQ pilots. Ok not like wayyyy more but I think $2-4K more a month is quite alot right? That's a classic Chanel bag every month. Mental note: Don't waste time dating SQ pilots. Also co-pilots. Bahahaha. Zoom straight in for the Captains.

I was also dismayed to find out that pilots are also afraid of turbulence. BUT 'afraid' in the context of worrying about passengers or crew injuring themselves and landing lawsuits etc. Well I learnt about other stuff I don't wish to repeat here...just in case. Whatever it is, flying is safe. But being a pilot is a great job. HK san says half the time, he stares into space or read the papers. I'd even walked into a cockpit before and witness a pilot playing with his portable DS machine. Not bad at all huh? Now HK san is inspired to buy a DS too.

Then the burning question my guy friends always ask: Are there gay pilots? I mean, the cockpit is kinda small... (so men! *rolleyes*)

HK san: Eh.....some look like gays but I don't think there are any (at least in JAL). The training is very strict and if they find out you are gay, you are gone.

HK san also thinks Changi airport is the best in the world because the runway is short. (I think so too!) After a long flight, the last thing you want is a long-assed runway. Narita needs to fire those stupid planners.

Anyway, now I know how much Japanese pilots earn! Like I said, *laughs* don't waste time with co-pilots. Unless you don't mind waiting 8-10years.
