I work for a large flying college. I teach our cadet (training) pilots to fly. Makes for an interesting days work... The saying "Expect the unexpected when least expected" is my daily prayer :)

We are owned by a very large asian airline and train up there future pilots.
Trying to teach non english speaking guys to fly gives you a whole new interpetation of the word "fustration" :roll:

But it is one job that never gets boring. :wink:

And i love Every minute of it.... Well almost every minute!! :D
