Somewhat different opinion

Shai,

I will have to agree with the above posts regarding the expense here. It's not China, that is for sure. I'm with a different operation that has a little better incentives, and is in the process of upgrading equipment. If you get a deal where company housing is provided, meal allowances, etc., it's not that bad. One thing for sure; it beats trying to fly in China. I can't go into the details of our future activities on here, but it is very promising. Great management team, and good people to work for.

The islands are beautiful, in my opinion. Nothing like Hawaii, but it is island life. A lot of WW II history here; Suicide Cliff, Atomic Bomb Pits, airplanes, tanks, you name it. If you live on Tinian, you've got basically two choices of entertainment; Casino or the beach. Ferrys run to Saipan about twice a day; more to do over there.

As the guys above indicated, if you need a lot of entertainment in your life, this is not the place to be. If you want to fly, well, that's a different story. Don't expect 120 hours per month. 50 to 60 might be the norm per pilot for our operation. I don't know about Island Air.
