We've had topics asking what you fly, where, how many hours...!
How about the non flying people?
Which users aren't pilots? What do you do for a living?
Really curious to know.

The hardest thing about flying is knowing when to say no
After over a half a century of flying no one ever died because of my decision not to fly.

Just knowing that not all users are pilots makes you feel better about using Avcanada!
I work in management on the A380.
