I see on your original post that you give your location as Perth.Have you considered Skywest as an option?? They have no bond (at this stage) and no endorsement costs.Guys who have joined as an F - 50 f/o have been upgrading to the left seat in 12 months lately.They have just announced that they are getting two more F-100's in October and another in March 2008, by my calculations, even at 5 crews/plane that is another 30 drivers they will need between now and then. Food for thought??
