Thanks folks for the informative and humourous replies, it is all good food for thought. I realise that I will have to work my way up and I am very willing to do so may it be loading cargo to flying any sort of A/C no matter how small or simple. I understand that this industry requires long peroids away from home and also lots of unsocial hours, this however also apppeals to me in some weird way. The motivation for the post was purely to find out some more about the industry from those living it and any advice of how to turn this dream into reality.
Cheers,
