Truckflyer, thanks for the US school input. I agree that the job prospects are not that great and having observed the operating crews from an SLF perspective I am glad I did my world tours in my own aircraft. Uncomfortable it may have been but no security hassles, normally a 10 hour day and very exceptionally 16 and usually gentleman's hours like a 10am launch.
Operating a bus to Alicante and back a few times and I would soon be so bored.
