But you'll be joining way down a long seniority list and lucky to ever get a command if you are over 35. Not to mention Joyce's dream of turning QF into JQ with a roo on the tale.
Although I can see the attraction of sitting in the back seat for a few years with no care after getting flogged for years on end and enjoying Life outside of work.
It all comes down to your pay vs lifestyle balance. For some it’s a an easy choice - depends on your motivations?
