Hey
I am a brand new CPL Multi IFR Float rated pilot. I have been combing the overall aviation industry and have dicovered the art of crop dusting! I realize it is not an easy road, but it really looks like the type of flying I want to do. I realize my Multi IFR and Float ratings dont contribute much to my cause, I chose to do these to help my chances with any jobs out there. Basically my predicament now is I am down to 4grand and a ton of debt, no flying job and a huge desire to crop dust. I saw there is a course in Saskatewan but it is 16000 dollars for 2 months of school including 40 hours flying time. Needless to say, not a great option. I realize I am a very unexperienced pilot (225 hours TT) but does airiel spraying really require 40 more hours of flying to be certified? Any thoughts on the subject would be greatly appreciated. I am really open to any options and working anywhere. Thanks in advance
