In Volare they offered a career that in three/four years could take you from the ejection seat of an old Starfighter to the LHS of an Airbus A330.
I-FORD
I think that's one of the few good things they did
In NATO, if you have 2500 hrs on fast jets, they give you the LHS of an AWACS (B 707) after "only" 300 hrs (less than 6 months), and if you argue that the job is different, I agree..., it's more demanding!
