I was offered a job at Highland about a year ago (after being interviewed 6 months before) but by then I had gone off to jetland. Personally I thought that either the J31 or the Fisheries would have been an awesome job. You would be based in one of the most stunning parts of the UK and do real flying to some awesome airfields. When I did a bit of instructing up at INV I heard all the usual horror stories but experience since has taught me that all companies have similar problems. Some people love their job some people spend all day winging about it. People do have a tendency to read and sign a contract then down the line start complaining about it it's human nature. I am one of those people with a long enough memory to remember being a penniless FI wondering how I was going to pay my bills and that keeps my morale sky high on the bad days. The Highland job would be awesome, take it if offered and if you don't like it a year or two down the line then leave.
