Yeah, thats the downside. The promise of travel attracts me, as does the pay, and I think living in Hong Kong would be really cool, but I do like to fly, I mean to the point that if I don't get to I start to suffer withdrawal symptoms, lol. Although with my student loans I will pretty much go anywhere that pays decently.
How the heck do you stay proficient that way? Lots of time in a simulator between trips? Also how long to FO upgrade? Like two years?
