      Hello s4g34nd0n10n321,

      Thanks for your question. I am an engineer so im don’t actually fly the planes – That is the job of the Pilots. My job is to fix them after the pilots have broken them!!

    Yes I do – I enjoy it very much. I think the satisfaction of fixing something that all engineers enjoy. The best part of my job is when the plane is full of passengers and then something goes wrong – i run up to the flight deck and start pressing buttons on the computers while the pilots watch on in amazement!!

    They may have you believe that they know everything but sometimes pilots can’t understand why things don’t work in O-F-F mode!! I swithch it to O-N mode and funnily enough things work!!
