I feel I must make a small comment at this point...!!!
Lala/Taildragger,
Well said boys !!!!
As someone who has been working in Ops/Crewing departments for nearly 8 years and who is now undergoing full-time training towards the ATPL, I personally can think of no better bedding ground for my career's next step.
Taildragger, I started with the same very thoughts as yours and if you are thinking the same as myself and would like to move into Flight Management in years to come, you are going the best way about it.
Having a full working knowledge of how an airline is run operationally will only help you and the Ops Dept. when you are sat at the sharp-end with a commercial decision to make and from my experiance in Crew Control the best flight crew to deal with are the chaps who have also had some ops experiance.
I believe my present airline are thinking along these lines as they have been more than helpful in giving me all the time off I needed.
Hope you can find a similar Airline TD.
Your atitude is somewhat from the darkages Vipero...
Cheers
