What is your situation?
Do you have an offer elsewhere yet?
Is there a bond for your LHS?
How soon is your course?
P1 is great but with the predicted shortage of pilot numbers in the next decade, who knows what the opportunities will be in 1/2/3 years time.



3100h TT 2800h B737. 27 y.o not married no kids.
If there's a bond for LHS, for sure there's one, min. duration is 2-3 years.
Course is scheduled to start in FEB-MAR'08. Training for PIC is taking too much time here and progression is very slow.
I've got some offers in ME and Europe and I was about to start conversion to JAA ATPL in JAN. So taking the command offer is going to mess things up.
I am not sure if I can handle the command training and the JAA conversion process at the same time!
What will be the opportunities for long haul in 2-3 years time? Who knows? This is the question?
