I'm sick of my corporate job and considering becoming a pilot, flying interests me and I love to travel. I have a ton of questions. Do pilots get to spend time in destinations or is it more just work - hotel - work? What's the schedule like? How old is too old to begin?

I've been working a corporate job for a while now and I hate being trapped in one place with hardly a few weeks a year when I can actually go places and see the world. Looking into different jobs a pilot sounds like a good fit, plus the idea of learning to fly appeals to me.

So some questions:

Do pilots actually get to see their destinations? Even just a few hours or a day per location?

What's the schedule like? I assume it's not a work 5 days a week thing.

How young do I have to be to start? What sort of health issues could disqualify me?

Are pilots unionized?

What's the career path like?

If you're a pilot, what do you like and dislike about your job?

I'll send a $20 Amazon gift card code to the first Reddit account that can find this video. Either the physical VHS at a reasonable price to purchase, or even better an online rip of the video.

The video was exercise set to multiplication tables. Each number was a different exercise and between numbers everyone would just walk in place. It was a family of 5 and each person did a different variation of the exercise while shouting out multiplications of the current number. The dad always did the most difficult variation and the youngest child did the easiest one.

For example, if the number was 5 and the exercise was jumping jacks. Each person in the family would do a variation of jumping jacks. The dad would probably do a full jumping jack and on each one shout 5! 10! 15! 20! etc. The mom would do a slightly easier jumping jack, each child would do an easier one down to the youngest who might just wave her arms up and down.

I think they all wore a distinctive color of leotard. Each person in a different color.
