Hey All,

Just looking for some of your input here. I'm an American working in Canada and I just got my first upgrade on the Mighty Metro. I would one day like to move back down south and get into the US aviation world. I'll be honest, I'm kind of chasing the proverbial 'Delta carrot' (Depending on where things go with the current TA and future movement) but I'm not set in stone on that.

I am wondering what those of you in the know would counsel me to do from here. What is the best career path to get from where I am now to my ultimate goal-which at this point is a major. Keep in mind, I'm in no rush; I plan to go back to school part time over the next 3 years while I build my PIC time to finish my diploma. If possible, I'd like to stay flying the Metro for my current company while I do that because they pay and treat me very well. One thing is set in stone for me: I am not moving my butt until I get 1000 turbine mpic, but after that point would you advise me to try to get into a dash 8 or a jet if possible, or would you say I'd be alright if I stayed within the current comfort of my present job.

Any feedback would be great, feel free to send me a PM or reply here! Drop me a line if you ever overnight in CYWG (probably more applicable to you regional fellows who read this forum). Maybe we can meet up!

Cheers,
C. Canuck
