The Paradropping is fun, got into it with 200 hrs cpl fatpl, found myself in a caravan with 500 hours or so, in a heavy jet with 880, so it gets you there. The work is hard, pay not too well, but you can live from it. Flying is great fun and it really improves your manual handling and scanning skills, which got me through the airline grading.
Have fun,
rgds fokkerking!
