I'm currently trying to chart my path from newly-minuted commercial pilot to being paid to fly. When I talked to the person from IFL at Oshkosh this last year, being a flight engineer on the 727 sounded like a really compelling alternative to going the CFI route. I've looked at where/when the 727 flies, so I'm pursuing this eyes-wide-open that the schedule will be lots of nights, but I'm up for it.

I have the chief pilot's email and phone, and I sent an email a while back expressing interest, but I'm waiting to reach out again until I've got my commercial checkride done.
