Answer 5

Just a guess but maybe it's the love of flying over "driving the bus" , you know what I mean? many airline pilots prefer to fly the little ones for enjoyment.

Answer 6

i chose to because it was my business and made me money. like these easy questions.

Answer 7

not only is it a thrill, but airline training is very expensive well over $100,000, plus money is not everything to some, bush pilots don't have to deal with nagging people, they're by themselves
