Why would a GA driver out bush being over-worked and under paid listen to some Captain from California? which is what you are Capt Saturn. I don't know your background, but from where I'm coming from parting with some $$$$ and moving on in aviation is a much better option than staying in a place I don't really like living in. I'd probably pay off the $30,000 odd (thats just a guess.....I wouldn't know how much it costs) for an endorsement in a couple of years or so with my new employment anyway. You might think GA guys that are going for this are buying their way into an airline, or that the airline is taking advantage of them. Maybe all they are doing is buying their way out of the pathetic dismal industry we have down here called GA, and I wouldn't blame anyone for doing that.
