trehole excuse me but you are an idiot. Why get a worthless type rating i.e duchess, cougar and then have to fork out for another 1-2 hours for another type rating to get yourself in a position to be attractive to small charter companies? You WILL end up spending more in the long run. What is this thread all about? Trying to save money. MrFish if the aztec is going out at 260/hour like kiwiboy says I'd be up in Whenuepai in a flash if I were you.
