MKA742,
Mate if you dont like the sound of the place or have your doubts then then go do your hour building elsewhere. The boys and girls in Maun have dreams and aspirations too, but being in aviation for 5 minutes and saying that bashing round in lighties is a waste of time is a big call.
Yes, flying a mob of overlanders at 500 feet, down the boro, chasing buff is not the best preperation for your MK airlines sim check but why would you want to be thinking about that siht anyway. Just enjoy the place, the pss ups, the laughs and the stuff you wouldnt get away with in the first world. Sure the novelty wears off but thats with every job. when I fly billy the boeing across the pacific how long do you think that stays a novelty for????!!!!!!!! yeah you guessed it!
And as for command time I reckon its very important but thats just personal opinion. You can look over your left shoulder as much as you like but until you siht yourself a few times by yourself you start do develop a few more things than just whats in your blue book of numbers.
Cheers
