Im with steve, I thought PNG was pretty ordinary. the toughest part about working there was getting out of the country on time. There is no pressure there as the demand for pilots is high, there is no hourly flight pay, and most everybody is late all the time any way! you would be hard pressed to get fired from any company in PNG. that said It is one of the most bueatiful and unusual places Ive ever been. If you think PNG is a very difficult place to fly you have never been anywhere but Aus. or NZ!

I didnt feel any client or company pressure, maybe thats just me but when your not getting paid by the hr, the companys are hard up for pilots ( therefore odds of getting canned are low) and everybody is late all the time anyway how in the world could there be any pressure? The flying was pretty average, and there are not very many off site landings, I guess it could be pretty challenging if your idea of an uniproved landing site is grass! Very bueatiful and unusual place
