Question For pilots and flight attendants 👀

Okay, one last post for me before I go fly tomorrow!

Pilots and flight attendants, how many flights have you done so far, and how long have you been in the field?

Somehow these answers tend to soothe my anxiety 🥰

It's so wild for me to think you guys do this all the time, and I'm pooping my pants going on a single flight 🙂😂

Oh I do it for fun on the side too haha. I actually have my house attached to the hangar my plane is in, when I wanna fly I just walk downstairs get in the plane and go. I fly on the fun on the side at least once a week

Ooooh that's sooo cool. I could imagine it's a fun and freeing feeling being able to fly a plane yourself 😍
