Understanding Airline Pilots ........
This is a very special rundown for those who understand a Pilot'’ world of flying.
You see them at airport terminals around the world.
You see them in the Morning early, sometimes at night.
They come neatly uniformed and hhrou sleeves striped; wings over their left pocket; They show up looking fresh.
There'’ a brisk, young-old look of efficiency about them. They arrive fresh from home, from hotels, carrying suitcases, battered briefcases, bulging,
with a wealth of technical information, data, filled with regulations, rules.
They know the new, harsh sheen ofChicago '’ O'’are
They know the cluttered approaches toNewark ;
they know the tricky shuttle that is Rio ; they
know but do not relish the intricate instrument approaches to various foreign
airports.
They know the volcanoes all aroundGuatemala
They respect foggySan Francisco
They know the up-and-down walk to the gates at Dallas, the Texas sparseness of Abilene, the very narrow Berlin Corridor, New Orleans'’sparkling terminal, the milling crowds at Washington.

They know Butte , Boston , and Beirut
They appreciate Miami'’ perfect weather, they recognize the danger of an ice-slick runway at JFK
They understand short runways, antiquated fire equipment, inadequate approach lighting, but there is one thing they will never comprehend: Complacency.
They marvel at the exquisite good taste of hot coffee in Anchorage & Brazil, and a cold beer inGuam .
They vaguely remember the workhorse efficiency of the DC-3s, the C-46 -–probably the heaviest twin ehrougtail-dragger at 50, 650 Lbs., the reliability of the DC- 4s and DC 6s, the trouble with the DC-7 and the propellers on Boeing 377s. The sound of R-2800'’ cranking-up. The PRT'’ of the 3350'’. BMEP spots on their white shirts.
They discuss the beauty of an old gal named Connie.
They recognize the high shrill whine of a Viscount, the rumbling thrust of a DC-8 or 707 on a clearly takeoff from Haneda, and a Convair.
The remoteness of the 747 cockpit.
The roominess of the DC10 and the snug fit of a 737.
They speak a language unknown to Webster.
They discuss ALPA, EPRs, fans, mach and bogie swivels.
And, strangely, such things as bugs, thumpers, crickets, and CATs, but they are inclined to change the subject when the uninitiated approaches.
They have tasted the characteristic loneliness of the sky, and occasionally the adrenaline of danger.
They respect the unseen thing called turbulence.
They know what it means to fight for self-control, to discipline one'’ senses.
They buy life insurance, but make no concession to the possibility of complete disaster, for they have uncommon faith in themselves and what they are doing.
They concede the glamour is gone from flying.
They deny a pilot is through at sixty.
They know tomorrow, or the following night, something will come along they have never met before.
They know flying requires perseverance and vigilance.
They know they must practice, lest they retrograde.
They realize why some wit once quipped: "“lying is year after year of monotony punctuated by seconds of stark terror."”
As a group, they defy mortality tables, yet approach semi-annual physical examinations with trepidation.
They are individualistic, yet bonded together.
They are family people.
They are reputedly overpaid, yet entrusted with equipment worth millions.
And entrusted with lives, countless lives.
At times they are reverent.
They have watched the Pacific sky turn purple at dusk and the stark beauty of sunrise overIceland
They know the twinkling, jeweled beauty ofLos Angeles
They have seen snow on theRockies -–from
above.
They remember the vast unending mat of green Amazon jungle, the twisting Silver road that is the father of waters, an ice cream cone called Fujiyama; the hump of Africa.
Who can forget Everest from 100 miles away, or the ice fog inFairbanks
They have watched a satellite streak across a starry sky, seen the clear, deep blue of the stratosphere, felt the incalculable force of the heavens.
They have marveled at sun-streaked evenings, dappled earth, velvet night, spun silver clouds, sculptured cumulus: God'’ weather.
They have viewed the Northern Lights, a wilderness of sky, a pilot'’ halo, a bomber'’ moon, horizontal rain, Contrails and St Elmo'’ Fire Only A PILOT experiences all these.
This is their world they live in.

Anonymous. Now you know a little of what an airline
pilot is made of.
