Now I am not one to buy into the BS on this site, however...
Islander vs B1900D...For me it would be no question!
Sit it out in the hope NSN calls me, and meanwhile have a chance at EAG...No question!
Standing in the rain vs sitting in the warmth...Okay you have that one, however, if offered EAG and still waiting for the possible call from NSN no question.
Money...Yes better at COOK and NSN, you get that one too. Still as per previous pts, if offered interveiw, go, you can alwyas say no! Why fly '50's tech when you can fly '80's tech......
Did my time there, best flying I'll probably ever do! Great experience, good bunch o fly with, pretty good gear, and holds you in pretty good stead for the jets.....
My advise do whats best for you, as for being 13 hours shy on nigh hours you'll do that in a winter in good ole NZed!
Might be the ugliest acft but sure was good to fly
Float Flyer out
