Proud?

Proud ?



i spoke with my friend here.

He told me he's so proud of himself as a commercial pilot and soon to be an instructor.



i feel so shocked with what he said coz for me i am not that proud of myself as commercial pilot.

i don't know why.


i feel like i am not working for an airline so i cant call myself a commercial pilot.
What most people think, the definition of a word "pilot" means
a person who flies a commercial jet or an airline pilot but not a guy
holding licenses and unemployed by an airline.



He told me that i should start telling people that i am a commercial pilot.

Make urself proud of what u are doing.

To be really honest, if an unknown frd comes to me ask me what i do,
what major i take, i would say aviation but not going further.

i guess if i tell them i am a commercial pilot, the next question would
probably be "what airline are u flying for?" or "Are u flying 747??"
that kind of questions.

i just don't know how to answer, i don't want to upset them.

so what i used to think is tell them ONLY IF i am hired by an airline otherwise, just keep it secretly.



But starting from today, i should be proud of myself, proud of my career. People would respect u only if u have confidence.

I love flying!!!
