The 206 is certainly a lot more relaxing, especially when you take it up to fl 110 on a hot summer day, so why are you all doing the paradropping, just to get some hours to move on with your carreer, or is it really what you would like to do till in the end of days?
And I have another question for the guys already flying for an airline, what do the airlines think of para-pilots?
Because everybody always thinks about it as rough flying for cowboys.
My experience however, is that it is quite a challenge everytime again with different winds and different altitudes to arrive on the exitpoint on the desired altitude exactly at the right time.
It is way more demanding than just flying from a to b with an ils at the end. What´s your opinion on that?
