As far as I know, neither job pays very well. There was a show I watched about airplane repos, which actually does pay fairly well, but it's risky.
Flying is very expensive and so is the training, which might be something you want to consider.
I asked a friend of mine who coincidentally worked as a computer engineer for an airline. He says, "pilots get all the pu$$ah and computer engineers just masturbate their life away." lol.
Flying for an airline would also keep you from having any kind of stable home life, but if you're young and don't care about that, the perk is that you get to travel the world. Not that you'll be able to really enjoy it, since you'll be working most of the time, I imagine.
I've seen a few audio/visual companies (not exactly/strictly computer engineering, so I'm not sure if this really applies) and I must say their work atmosphere seems pretty laid back. The employees ate gourmet snacks and drank beer after 5pm, all supplied by the company. They were even allowed to play console games.
I suppose if you research your options with due diligence on your own you'll no doubt figure out what's best for you.
You won't die when the computer * crashes *.
LOL! Good point. It's seriously something to consider, especially if you plan on flying for Malaysia Airlines.
