Do pilots 👨‍✈️ look sexy?

[Anonymous]

I want to be a pilot now. Love the style, I’ve been obsessed since like 4 years old with aviation

Very sexy

Sexy

Okay

Un attractive

[SueShe]

Actually, pilots look everything but sexy.

I know it because I grew up in an environment where there were a lot of them and let me tell you that much.

A great number of them are overweight, usually because their job is no better than a job of a pencil pusher, meaning sitting 10 hours without much possibilities for movement.

Since 9-11, the cockpit doors of airlines must remain closed at all times and there are strict rules for pilots to move about the aircraft. Result? drinking unhealthy high sugar content drinks, enormous amounts of coffee, very tight schedules and crew resting time constraints.

Pilots may have (in the past) an attraction on women but they no longer do. The younger ones may still look okay the first 2 or 3 years as first officers but their overall body shape changes very quickly.

No, pilots do certainly not look sexy. Perhaps they look good in their uniforms but as soon as you strip them of their uniform, they are just like anyone else. Not better, not worse.

I guess they’ll have to work harder in the gyms

[SueShe]

Also, if you are indeed in the age group 18-24, then you are too old to start an initial pilot's school with an airline.

You will have to start with your people, multiengine, IFR license by yourself and those cost a fortune. Then you will need to accumulate at least 1,500 hours flying time before you can even apply with an airline.

Knowing that an hour in a older Cessna C310 costs about $165, you multiply that amount by at least a factor 1,000 and you get a pretty sum ($165,000) just to get to the minimum flight hours required to join a minor airline.

Once you get there, you will be assigned miserable rosters with no seniority at all.

[SueShe]

"people" and not people. Silly autocorrection...

[SueShe]

Private Pilot Licence

[Asker]

I have a people haha. I don’t want to be a comercial pilot. I always wanted to own my own business

[SueShe]

Very difficult times for such a kind of business unless you can afford to purchase VLJs or private jets for rental or sale. The prices of pre-owned jets are skyrocketing.

[northerngal]

Do you actually know anything about the job? Are you passionate about aviation and actually flying airplanes? The job is very difficult now and the quality of life can be poor at times. If you romanticize the job and think its cool to wear a uniform aviation will be a career that will eat you up. Maybe do a bit more research. Oh and by the way most pilots I know remove their tie, stripes and wings the moment they get in their cars... they never wear their uniforms any more than they have to. A pilot strutting around like a peacock is usually laughed at by serious pilots.

[Asker]

I’m just joking. I have a people license but comercial flying is not for me. It also sounds too repetitive and boring long term

[northerngal]

You mean people?

[northerngal]

Oh I get it spell check... people

[northerngal]

Private Pilot License...

[Asker]

Private pilot’s licence lol

[Asker]

For lightweight aircraft

[northerngal]

Thats fair. I now quite a few ATPLs who still fly General Aviation to keep their love of flying strong. The job crushes their passion. So maybe best to just stay where you are and fly for fun.

[Asker]

Yh it’s a hobby for me. An expensive one haha

[PJH359]

If you’re thinking about pursuing it as a career I strongly encourage you to do so. So many great reasons like pretty much living wherever you choose, great pay, excellent benefits, staying in hotels with the rest of the flight crew 😎 and nice schedules. And what’s better than the thought of throttling up a 777 after takeoff clearance? The ultimate feeling of torque and refined engineering. Pilots are highest on the list of shortages so take advantage of it now. You’ll be forced to retire at 60-62 but can still fly private jets! I wish you the best from someone who regrets not doing it.

[Whatever2929292]

That depends on the pilot some do. I have seen some really cute pilots when I been at the airport before. I mean some really cute ones. I don't know if they were pilots or first officers but I seen some real cuties. Not even kidding. Like really cuties

[TenderFantasy]

Lol THAT would totally depend on the pilot's age, (and weight) haha.

But yeah, in general. Any DRIVING (in control) type of occupation, I think is masculine energy and will be attractive to the opposite sex!

😉

[sheikalana]

Being a pilot does not make someone sexy. If the guy looks miserable and has a bad attitude it doesn't matter if he's in a pilot's uniform or not he will always have a bad reputation regardless.

[KelleyNice]

People don't look sexy because they are pilots. Exceptional people with the looks, brains, and skills to become pilots look sexy.

[Flower7]

Most of the pilots I’ve seen have been very old, so I’ve never seen one that I’d consider to be attractive.

[1GoldTwins]

They are okay. I rare saw the pilot who flew my plane. He's just 'that voice who announces takeoff and landing'

[SaartjieJane]

Men in uniform do look nice but go for something you’d actually enjoy

[anon1903]

Are you seriously making your career choices based on whether or not women will find your profession attractive? Lmao

[Marshymallow]

Something about a guy in uniform is always sexy but the guy in the picture looks mid.

[Guy13]

No, retired across the street looks mad at world… not nice guy. Die alone.

[bakajana]

To me the profession doesn't have something to do with it

[ArtemisSilver]

Yea it's so hot to be exposed to extreme levels of radiation and have your job be like #3 on the AI chopping block.

[EnglishEuropean]

Oh hell yes!

Dutch Girl Pilot

[IsoUser]

Not if flys the helicopter as his grandson drives in a pink tampon down to Daytona Beach in same color as the car in " Dirty Grandpa " LMFAO 😉😉😍😍😁😁😁😁😁

[bean2k21]

I'm not sure I'd want a narcissist in charge of my life at thousands of miles in the air.

[Anonymous]

Yes, of course they are. Any woman who says they aren't is either a liar or a lesbian.

[Anonymous]

Congratulations brother, your question caught the eye of the most bitter female user in the history of GAG so it must be a good one.

@SueShe

[msc545]

Does piloting very small planes count? I look just ok I think.

[menina]

Yeah I saw some sexy pilots ✈️

[Kichbazp_]

@menina how sexy?

[menina]

@Kichbazp_ How am I supposed to answer that?

[Kichbazp_]

Was he very hot? 😊

[menina]

@Kichbazp_ Yes.

[FictionalCharacter]

Most pilots don’t dress like that

[Asker]

Yes they do.

[SueShe]

No they don't. This picture is for advertisement purposes only.

Furthermore, I don't think that this young guy qualifies as a captain since he has 4 stripes on his epaulettes. Also an operator of a Robinson R-66 helicopter would not hire a young guy like that with low helicopter time to be a captain.

[Tiptoetamm]

I find pilots very sexy the uniform is hot
