slamer... yep did the Euro charter thing for a while, but flying the back side of the clock gets old really fast. My last contract gig was daytime holiday sun charters, it was good fun until the global economic meltdown came along...

On ag flying, there is a shortage of pilots in that sector for a reason, ie nobody wants to do it. It's dangerous and pretty hard work for the dollars you earn.

Go and get an Ag. Rating. Cost you about 18k... within in 18 months you will be flying a turbine with a rating you didn't have to pay for...
Apart from the 18k you had to spend getting the ag rating? You could buy a type rating for that...

It all comes down to how desperate you are.
