I'm baack!!

OZ was wonderful, wish I were 23 again!!

The operation is Cargo Force, looking for ex-military, preferable C-17 drivers. They are plentiful, me thinks. I.O. is right, this sounds like UPS in the early days.

Captain pay is supposed to be 175K and F/O at 125K. Certainly far more than they need to pay to get pilots. No retirement beyond 401k; two straight weeks flying, one week OFF and one week "training", whatever that is. Plans to do postal contracts first and expand into nuclear waste transport.

"Excuse me Cappy, did you remember your lead-lined hat and jacket?"

Too good to be true, yes, but you never know. Hope dies slowly in the airman's breast.
