Kash,

Firstly, let me congratulate you on getting off your backside and heading OS. Look at it as an adventure and you'll enjoy yourself.

Ok. Some gentle advice if no one else has taken you under their wing.

It doesn't take much to become annoying. If all the chief pilots have your details and mobile phone number, then visiting them every day will annoy them. If you are seeing different CPs per day, then ok.

Make friends with the local pilots, they'll know well before any boss does if a pilot's going to leave. Also, DO NOT advertise that fact online. Someone else may grab that opportunity!

If you can, get some work. Whatever, doesn't matter. The chief pilots generally know every one and a good word about your work ethic just might give you the edge.

(This is what I did way back in 1994 in outback Australia, it worked)
