Yes, a place with a flow is great but nothing is ever 100% guaranteed. We'll have a new El Presidente in the U.S. soon (I for one can't believe it'll be either of those jack wagons)but none the less, better hold on tight to your loved ones cause it may be a bumpy ride.

I flew for one of the Hulas teams and it wasn't pefect but it was ok. I got turbine PIC and then moved on. I've been invited back if I need a job and have a good reference from them so I'll always have a place if I need to pay the bills with my mad skills.

Tell your friend to get what he wants and needs from wherever he goes but to not make a total decision based on rants on an anonymous forum.

Getting my flack jacket on and helmet now for the bombardmant (clever how I got a bombardier reference sort of in there) I am now going to get about Go-Jets.

All the best.
