Sounds like aviation's the same everywhere. You have to slog your guts out getting paid next to nothing. I know plenty of people that have spent all the money to get licences and ratings and have just got sick of the whole industry and how it works, given up and never flown again.
Sad isn't it!! There's no other industry quite like it that's for sure.
I'm a bit concerned about being locked into one job for the duration when I get over there. I suppose it depends on what sort of visa I have does it?? I'm really hoping this job might be a foot in the door for bigger and better things. However I know how aviation is, and that may not be the case!! I guess I'll just have to wait and see what happens.
