Lots of talk of initial entry (Oooer) - lots of good advice. Stick to:
a) Say no to Obs unless U want it - not a bad job, but it's not a pilot and chances of swapping over are ZERO.
b)Visit the bars of some air stations and chat to the folks - they will show U the ultra-up-2-d8-way. Remember, pinch of salt.
Pinger / SAR / Junglie - I did all 3, in that order, and each has it's merits. It's a matter of what U want and what ur aims are. Each has good and bad bits (Jez sorties, social / autonomy, job well done, fat germans off hillsides in crap weather / fun flyin, UHHH, A HILL!)
Fixed wing - a challenge, but work and not necessarily a lifestyle choice.
Fish-head. Y?
Hope it al goes well for U all. Enjoy it and have a f***in good time, fellas!
