While it can be said that a lot of guys and girls get into bush flying as a step towards the airlines, will there ever be any agreement as to which is more benificial when comparing bush flying/general charter with instructing when it comes to developing the skills needed to be a valuable crew member in the big stuff? Also, as Swamp Rat asks, is it possible to stick a new comm pilot in the right seat of something bigger or more complicated too early, before the basic handling errors and lessons are out the way? I think the answer to this last question is certainly "yes". My first question might be slightly off the point but it seems a relatively logical query in this context.
