Thanks for all the support! I'll work hard, as I'v always done, and be a team player. SAS, where I work is a great airline. But living conditions in scandinavia are just to hard. 62% tax of the last krona and darn cold. I can't wait....8dagys and counting!!

Well, it could be "payscale" or it could be a friend of mine who started on the Dec.03/01 course. I'm sure you are correct in the assumption that there are plenty of heavy drivers out there who could be hired before a prop guy is. However, the bottom line is is that those persons might not be the individuals the company is looking for. If it is my friend that you are refering to, then let me say this. First and foremost, he is a great guy and very personable. Definitely someone you could spend long days with a not feel like you want to kill him at the end. Secondly, he has proven skills in all facets of flying and is well thought of by all the senior Captains at his last company. After spending three years(approx1500hrs) on the 146, he upgraded to Captain on the Dash8. If you've ever been to the maritimes in Canada, then you can appreciate that the weather here promotes and cultivates fast and sound decision making in the Captains. I hope you have the opportunity to sit down with him and have a drink(please dont feed him rye or rum tho')I'm sure you'll find him to be a suitable co-worker!!
