Re: When to move on

The young pilot starts out, thinking it's all about building hours. He/she'll take whatever crap job, at whatever crap pay seems to justify the end. The middle time pilot puts everything on "hold" to chase the big iron. Family, pride, even self worth take a back seat to the all important jump throu...

I would say that certainly most pilots operating Beavers and bush A/C are overloading, and as I stated before it is not right but has become pretty standard. You and I are sitting on a lot of aviation experience and can go anywhere we pretty much like, if we won't do what a lot of operaters expect ...

Thanks guys,
Rudy... the reason for the change was to find more reasonable information... Started with 500 to see if there were any out there for that range, but upped it to 750 to accomodate myself more.
Any other places you can think of would be awesome.
