After job shadowing for a bit, I decided it wasn't for me. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love flying, and will keep it as a hobby for a long time, including getting my PPL w/ IFR. However, I wasn't prepared to devote that much cash into going the commercial route and then making diddly squat for years after I finish. At the time, it was highly competitive, students loans weren't available, and I didn't want to spend most of my time away from home.

So instead of being a commercial pilot, I went the engineering route and took Aeronautical Engineering Tech at SAIT. Then 9/11 hit and there were no jobs. So now I'm in Oil&Gas, with the intent of restarting my PPL within the next year or two.

Looks like the majority play MS Flight Simulator. How many have used X-Plane?
