Hear Hear!!!!!
Top Tup said what I should have said.
One of my mates is in the process of leaving Ag flying to go to the airlines. He has been at the crossroads of been able to buy a job to get twin time or doing it tough just like everyone else. When you do come to the crossroads yourself it is very hard to know what choice to make. The argument is that all pilots in the future will have to buy their future in aviation, but I don't quite agree. I think while times are tough like it is now, it really is survival of the fittest, and if you can manage to get yourself ahead by doing things slightly differently then the next guy, then I say do it. But, as I said before, keep your mouth shut and work twice as hard as the next guy.
Anyway I have not been able to answer your initial question, I'm sorry.
Cheers,
ST
