Congratulations Mike!!
I know a few of our FA's used to work on the Indian Pacific as cabin attendants. I think you've made a wise decision! It'll certainly give you worthwhile experience!
Have you thought about applying to NJS?
It would mean you'd have to live in CNS, PER or DRW but you'd still be flying!!!
Goodluck with everything!
Keep us posted with how it's all going!
Luv
