Reflection: I wouldn’t like to be an airline pilot because they spend a lot of time away from home and I wouldn’t want that. Also they must be sure they can be able to control a plane and know what to do if there’s an emergency and I would most likely panic especially because there in the air. It pays well but they have to do a lot of things that I wouldn’t want to do.
