pjdj777,
Sounds like you are having a great experience. It also sounds like you are getting a good look at the "charter" lifestyle. I know a number of pilots who have switched from charter to scheduled because of the difficult hours involved. Fortunately, charter does provide tremendous variety of routes - and that can sometimes compensate for the difficult hours.
Any other Astraeus cadets out there want to share their perspectives? Sounds like a great time!
Cheers
