Been on the line since September. Flying is ok, most of the old timers don't bother you and let you fly pretty much the way you want, don't expect to do many landings though, specially on the long haul flights.

Training is the worst. You can spend up to one year on training and there is no assurance that you would make it until the very last minute.

Biggest issue now for the new guys is housing, not enough houses or even apartments. Be given an hotel outside the compound God knows how long.

Flying hours right now is rather low, too many pilots, not enough routes and new planes coming this way. Not to mention the implementation of GACA 117 next month.... will be interesting.
