Advice?

Hey,

Cargo sounds like a rewarding route! I'm fresh out of training and have somehow found myself with a job offer on a 742F . Im from the uk and the job is long haul, based from greece with a new start up, I'm young and not married so it seems ideal.

The only worry is that I have been asked to contribute a heavy sum towards the initial TR. This coupled with the relocation and crippling debt is giving me last minute doubts. Don't get me wrong, I'm not whining, the salary is adequate and I realise alot of guys would kill to be in this position. My main concern is that the current 'climate' could leave me high and dry if the company went under in 6 months time.

Personally I think the flying experience alone would be too valuable to miss, I just wondered if there are any pilots out there who may have been through similar situations that could offer me any wisdom?

Cheers, BM
