Don't listen to the negative replies you are generating. Some people here are a bit touchy about the "C" word. Many because they have been given the opportunity to sit in the LHS of a big jet at a very young age and are sensitive about older more experienced guys saying that they are not deserving (or more correctly that the older more experienced are more deserving), which is entirely incorrect. If you have a command here, you probably deserve it, and if you trade in your old command to come here, then you must sit in line and wait your turn. What you are doing is exactlly the right thing. Find out the facts before coming. Not that everything here is always fact. But the fact remains that coming to the desert is a big lifestyle changes and dare I say it, has some enormous risks associated with it. So continue to ask the questions that some guys find offensive, because only you can decide whether it is right for you.
