So it`s basically whatever floats your boat. Just don`t dwell on it too long so that you end up further down the seniority list than necessary. Or even worse; that the companies stop hiring.

A lot of people seem to forget that WF have 3 bases in Southern Norway; OSL, TRF and BGO. Also, that when SAS begin hiring again that it`s not a negative thing to already be flying for the SAS Group if you decide to move on to jets.

One thing for sure though; you can always resign from ANY company if you`re not happy there.

Dovregubben; WF pilots now get commuting tickets, so the hassle with standby tickets is no longer an issue

TFM, that`s correct - no NAS pilots have left for WF. This probably has to do with several things, but I imagine that wen you`re flying jets it might not be as lucrative stepping down to the turboprops? But commuting for 30 years? Come on! When I get the OSL base I still have to get my sorry @$$ to that base every day, but as I now am based up north I only have to go to OSL twice a month. Which means it is cheaper for me to be based up north.

DD, what does speed have to do with anything? The 747 is a lot faster than the 737, but that doesn`t really matter does it? Fact is, the job is basically the same - flying people to their destinations as safely as possible.

But we`re all curious now. What`s the verdict? Have you made a choice, or perhaps have an offer from some other company which outshine both NAS and WF? Spill the beans Mr. Viking!
