Can you describe what it's like going from learning how to fly a plane using a simulator to what it's like actually flying one? Is it a really difficult transition or do the simulators feel so much like real life that it's not that different? I'm also interested to know how long the first few...

Since flight attendants and pilots are always traveling, how difficult is it to have work/life balance?

How long, on average, are pilots and flight attendants traveling at one time? How hard is it on you and your families to be traveling so often? #aviation #pilot #flight-attendant

How many hours do you work at a time? Do you get to take breaks? Are you in a dark room staring at a screen like the show in the movies? #air-traffic-control
