Dr Rumack, No one has judged you. I stand by my last post. I too waited for 10 years flying what I could in some unpleasant parts of the world. That is how it is done. You have not done too badly however averaging 500hrs a year. I would only caution anyone who feels they can jump the line by paying to be interviewed for a job that requires one to pay for a type rating and then receive a derisory salary that you do yourself or the industry no favours.I wish you luck in your en devour but lose the chip on your shoulder to make room for your epolette.
