USMCFLYR,

I just threw the .3 out there. Including taxi and time in the pattern each leg is probably a little longer than that. Also, they're flying these PA32's back and forth 25 times per day. The chief over there stated that pilot's fly an average of 80 hrs a month which would be 1440, so I was rounding up a little bit.

Also, you are correct, my reasoning for going to AMflight would be to get that ATP X-C time that i will be missing out on spending 18 months flying under a 50 mile radius on a tiny island. As far as extra opportunities to fly go, there are some flight schools on the islands so I should be able to do some CFII work on my days off to keep current on instruments and MAYBE even some MEI time in a Aztec.

Thanks so much for the input.

And to smuggler, don't worry, no Rota routes.
