Believe it or not, working in a control tower is pretty mundane. Once you get over the excitement of planes being everywhere you look, its just like any other job :')

Youre right! I work in Engineering, and my office is in the hangar. After a few months of being dumbstruck by walking past 2 380s and a 777 in one big room, or 320s that look like ants compared to the 380s, it gets kinda meh believe it or not. But from time to time, I just grab a chair and sit in the far corner of the hangar bay and drink tea and just stare at these ginormous machines while they're being worked on. It's pretty nice :p

Stick with that attitude bud! Most of the people who work in this industry have a passion for it. I don't believe you can really get far in the industry without that.

What's your APM?

Commercial plane engineer here... Can confirm the studying/memorization part. The type rating courses are 6 weeks, each week you pretty much have to memorize 500-700 pages of information >.< Good times.

I'm from Qatar! :D Come say hi! we're nice people.
