Viewed as one of the glamor occupations in the world, being a jet pilot is a dream for many young people. While becoming one has its challenges, it certainly is not impossible. With the right commitment to hard work, it is possible to become a private jet pilot and enjoy all the perks the job brings. Besides, a constant demand for private jet pilots is ensuring more young pilots get the opportunity to live their dreams.

Mitchell R Sopoci is one of the fortunate individuals who make a living flying high profile clients in private charter jets. For Mitchell, the fact that the job was not usual 9-5 job made it an intriguing prospect. Rather than be stuck in the office all day, he dreamt of being in the control of some of the most sophisticated flying equipment ever created. "The realization that I could be the person in charge of flying people to their choice destinations fascinated me, to be honest," he says. "It made me work hard and pay attention in aviation school."

What drew Mitchell R Sopoci to the job also turned out to be one of the downsides to being a private jet pilot. “Since it’s not your regular 9-5 job, I get to spend a lot of time away from home. Traveling so much at a time makes you miss the small things at home that you take for granted: the neighbor’s dog barking at night; my noisy coffee maker; the chipped mug that always spills when you handle it wrong.”

Of course, for the chance to travel to exotic destinations and see breathtaking sights, Mitchell R Sopoci puts aside the memories and focuses on the task. Being a pilot comes with a great deal of responsibility; the safety of the crew, passengers and plane are in his hands. He does not take such responsibility lightly, which is why he always takes it upon himself to triple check the plane’s instruments and radio before taking off.

"I've come to appreciate the unique opportunity I have to live my dream. I honestly don't know what I would be doing if I weren't a jet pilot."
