Danger Than you

Thank you all for your advice it has been greatly appreciated and all taken on board.

Piloting has always been my career goal, I enlisted into the RAAF just to gain a trade and a way out of where I came from. I am from outback QLD so cattle work and remote areas are not new to me.

As it will be a B2 Licence that I gain it was also suggested to me to dual trade which would be more advantageous. I do agree however that I need to make piloting my priority otherwise I will spend more time in the hangar.

I considered negotiating while I fly I earn pilots wages and while I am being techo I earn techo wages, but felt being a low hour pilot it might come across to cocky/arrogant???

The main reason I asked about NSW region is that I have a young family with my wife owning a very successful business. I am happy to travel and am pretty confident that it will most definitely be the case.

Ultimately all I have ever want to do is fly, it is only now that the time has become right for me to do so.
