Devin,

On this instance, I have to agree with 757UPSpilot,

In ANC, I've flown with a number of "Bush" pilots that used to fly for Marc Air (sorry if I spelled it wrong), and they were really very strong stick-n-rudder types. In my opinion, flying single pilot ups your situation awareness because you are the one man band.

And, as mentioned by 757 above, judgement learned when flying single pilot in usually crappy conditions is valuable. I remember my first air carrier job was single pilot Part 135, and I was scared straight when flying passengers-no one to blame but me.

One thing Mark at FDX brought up, is network network network, especially when sitting around the FBO waiting for your peeps or your packages. Many of us, including myself did not get this job based on good-looks...well, maybe 757UPS did...I'm just kidding...I'll get the first round at Stooges.

Good Luck Devin,

FF
