What plane would you rather fly for a career?
If I ever was a pilot i'd definitely fly for the USAF over Iraq, it would be way more fun than flying big heavy fat jumbos, then again people might like the idea of transporting people.
I would have this as a poll but I can't do them for some reason.
What do you people want to fly?

Flying a DC7 fighting forest fires in the US. Now that would be fun.

Yea I think I'd actually like to be US Navy flying off the carriers. Do they still operate the Grummen F14 Tomcats? That's the plane for me!
PS. I can't start polls on Real World Aviation or Off-Topic either! What's going on?

I'd fly the 737-300 for:
Air New Zealand
Southwest
Any Australian or Oceanic airline that flies them
The 737-400 for:
Malaysia Airlines
QANTAS
The 737-700 for:
Virgin Blue
The 737-800 for:
Pacific Blue
Polynesian Blue
Virgin Blue
AS you will notice they are all 737's as I love 'em to me they are the best of the best.

737 is the most sucessful airliner ever. In terms of numbers built anyway.

Would have to be ARHT's new BK-117 B-2 unless PSART puts the 222B into retirement and gets a B430 or similar either way flying a full-time Rescue Helicopter here in NZ would be the ultimate can't say I have ever really wanted to be a Jumbo Flyer doing the same thing day in day out for me my flying job would have to have excitement and challenge to keep you wondering what the next jobs going to be.
SQ350

So would I. Real cutting art, state of the edge (
) technology with long and medium haul capability.
Though maybe not next week, I'll wait for the problems get ironed out first.

I'm sure you all know what I would fly, and not just because a very similier thread poll has been run in the past.
North Atlantic in the 763, or the future 763 "replacement", 788/9. Don't care what airline, don't care if the pays cr@p, just as long as the aircraft has wings and the FAs are nice.

People must be sad if they complain about polls why not just not look in the post.
