General Aviation - I'm not sure about the airlines as yet I seemed to have lost a bit of interest.

Cargo for me!

That way no one can complain about those terrible landings you'll make, right?

International air travel for me

Because:

• The flying would be amazing, no other words for it,
  
• Seeing new countries and experiencing different cultures would be a fantastic experience,
  
• Meeting new people [crews etc.] would make for a great social life,
  
• The status would be great,
  
• The uniform looks really good ,
  
• And last of all, [least important to me] would be the salary, as long as I can provide for my family and keep them in the manner they are accustomed to, any rate of pay would be fine

That would be my ultimate goal, but I don't care where I start out

[George Bush]

RAF fast jet pilot

[tikiman06]

The goal is to attend either the Unites States Coast Guard Academy or the Air Force Academy and fly for one of the branches. Not sure whether I would make a career out of the military, but that decision is a long way off.

[Rambie2006]

i want to fly military planes.

The goal is to be a F-35 pilot

[HummerDrummer]

I voted in wrong place.

I want to be a domestic airline pilot but also want to have a plane of my own.

[B777_300ER]

National/Major Airline (domestic travel)

[SNbrussels]

GA is all I'm going for, but I think "GA" is a bit vague.
When I said GA, it meant a Cessna Caravan 675 or maybe later in my life the Citation CJ4 for my family and friends (we like going on ...well...big vacations)

Note that I am 14, and I understand it won't all happen so fast, and NO I do not think that FS2004 will make me ready. Believe me, I understand

Cheers

CJ4 would be for fractional or sole corporation. Unless you are making huge bucks, I can't see that happening. But if you do, and it's for family/friends only, still constitutes as general aviation. Unless you plan on flying for compensation, which now crosses the border of general aviation .

[Fokker_F27]

Regional Airline (VLM), or maybe charter (Abelag Aviation)

[Captainmk]

Preferably Major/national airline but I wouldn't mind a job with easyjet or so and so at all

[GuttahMastah]

International Air Travel.

I wanna fly heavies

I actually want to do domestic travel first, at the age of 30, Southwest Airlines 737-7H4 for me . Then when I get into my 40s I wanna fly the NWA and United 744s, future mach 2 planes, etc

[767-300ER]

Aiming for international flying.  

[suddste]

I would choose International Air Travel.

I would say General for me, I love flying in simulators and when I am flying for real it is awesome. I would rather own my own small plane though, just as a fun thing.

Here is what I was thinking the other day, buy my own plane, something like a C172 and start my own pleasure flight type thing, then when the money starts rolling in I employ a  few other pilots and start a small airline/pleasure flight business.
