If I can get a job on a 74 why not?
”IF I can”. That is the smartest thing you have said so far. And that’s a big IF considering all the hoops you still have to jump through.
Mate, remember ‘flies and honey’. The cockpit of your ‘74’ could become a pretty uncomfortable place with the wrong attitude. I think you would have more fun in a 210 than sitting for 12 hours making radio calls. Jetrider do you actually know what a SO does.
Give it a go by all means but take a step back and have a look as to why you’re being ridiculed. The one thing that I am certain of is that nothing is certain.
