Next thing all of a sudden he’s right seat in a Lear doing urgent organ relocations, flying warbirds, joined the RAAF and is now flying international mainline.
I didn't know fresh cpl'ers advertise themselves in the trader - might have to give that a shot. Totally understand your message and I'm willing to do (almost) anything! I did bust my chops out in the hot sun in Qld picking and packing fruit, driving tractors etc on small crops farms for several years to fund the first 150 hours of my training. So totally not afraid of hard work and willing to scrub toilets if I have to. I just don't think there's any toilet scrubbing jobs in GA going at the moment
