Morno I did my time up north like you before moving onto jets. Too much blue sky and your flying becomes sloppy. You become a great single minded ifr pilot and often find the transition to multicrew can be difficult.
I say good luck to aero and all the guys and girls today who are obviously gonna have a faster and easier career path than u and I did.
The facts are they seem to be doing what they say they are doing so get use to it.
XFSD go the easy route brother my career path sucked!!!
