HSC
As a ATPL in the 4-5000 hr bracket and plenty of Multi crew turbine etc etc at 35 yo and all my working life in and around aircraft I do understand how flyitboy may feel..
as I only did Yr 11 then went onto a 4 year A/C trade apprenticeship before deciding to go the pointy end years later I now can not apply for anything that involves the red rat or Skywest and a few others as well...
presonally if I wanted to fly a Dash I hear SAPL pays better anyway and there is other options...
I could always go back and do year 12...but on second thoughts !!
