I will say I have never done it, but have friends who run an operation.I spend a decent amount of time hanging around there, as it is really a fun place. I have seen kids that tow end up at all the majors-Spirit, Delta, AA, SWA and other operators.The newer kids are at Piedmont and Republic. Several are flying in Guard. One is a Marine F-35 driver.
Definitely consider Paramount. That is where these kids flew. They do have a bunch of trailers that are rent free that the pilots stay in.
Good luck! Call them soon.
summer of 1996 alumni here. Is Patrick the Marine you are referring to? I always wondered how he is doing.
