Aviation (private pilot)

I enjoy flying small single, prop engine aircraft and would one day like to work my way up and become certified to fly a turbojet aircraft.  I am fascinated by the aviation industry because a lot can be learned from the aviation industry, especially when it comes to communication, difficult situations and root cause analysis.
