Applying to Susi...

Got an email off Susi last week about submitting an application, had it still open on my Desktop when I came across this thread... It has since been sent into the trash! Any airline can crash in my opinion, but don't make a habit of it.

I mean no disrespect to the poor men who have lost their lives, but I have done the sort of flying they do over there and it is not for the faint of heart. The Caravan is a beautiful aircraft and the flying can be very rewarding, but Indonesia for whatever the reasons (most likely the weather, terrain and poor decision making) seems to be a risky place.

I would agree with the posters above who are talking about building up experience gradually, I may be biased as I am currently choosing to go this route rather than paying 50K for line training on a jet with no job, but I have time that other people feel they don't, I know I will be in an airline within the next 2 years... whats the rush? I'll have another 40 years of it after that!
