I would agree, it's a great job but few can afford to bring home circa 1300-1400 pounds after tax with a mortgage, children etc
I would love to apply and it seems like a natural progression from the C208B that I fly. However, I would need to live off savings for a year as the net salary doesn't cover my expenses. So in effect (and don't jump down my throat) in my case, I would be paying to fly.
