Perks of Being an Airline Pilot

• All the peanuts and soda you want! (or water in my case)



• You know your bag made it on the flight.



• The view from your office window can’t be beat!



• Lots of time to read while commuting to work (I’ve read 20+ books this year).



• Plenty of free shampoo, conditioner and soap from the hotels (not to mention mouthwash, shower caps and sewing kits).



• I never have to worry about what I’ll wear to work.



• Free reading material—whatever the passengers or other pilots left on the airplane.



• Virtually free travel nearly anywhere—as long as there are empty seats.
