Edwin do you think it possible for Seventh-Day Adventist to be airline pilots be it pax service or cargo?
I think it an impossiblity...due to our religion stating were not allowed to work or basically do anything (except worship God) from sun dwn Fri. night to sun down Sat. night.
I mean you could technically once you become senior if able hold a schedule that didn't have you working Fri-Sat.
But I figure when your senior enough to hold that schedule you would have "sinned" by our religion so much that it wouldn't even matter any more....lol.
Any info on the SDA flight academy? That came as a total suprise that they even had a flight academy.
Anyways just wanted to get ur opinion on if being a practicing SDA would negate you from being an airline pilot....fortunatly for me I'm a "heathen" and a "gentile" so I don't have to worry bout that at all...

No buddy I think according to our religion we minuswell get out suite ready in hell if airlines(or most flying for that matter) are in the future
. The only way you could avoid working on the sabbath is with what you mentioned but you'd be right about the rest. That's why I just worship and keep my faith the best I can. They say put God first and everything else will fall into place, but I haven't tried that yet. One of the reasons I tried to join the Coast guard and fly for them is because if you are working in a humanitarian job i.e...doctor, nurse, lifesaver, EMS, firefighting, CG Rescue ops.; then that's something that's o.k. But this was just something my stepfather told me. I know they have SDA pilots to fly the boeing they use for disaster relief, but other than that I'd be pressed to answer.
Like I said before, you don't have to attend service every week to be religious, one should attend when they feel it in their heart. I feel like it on special days like thanksgiving and christmas. It's a pretty tough compromise, some religious people would see it as choosing over God, I think I'm doing what makes me happy. I am not hurting anyone along the way, keep in mind the ten commandments and how a christian is expected to act and that's ok with me. Although I have trouble with the eating and drinking issues too
lmao!
Good luck man.
