Guam is nice, Hell is better.

Flying is great if your senior. If you want to learn to fly a B738, go to Guam. Your on your own, and can do anything you want.

You can't call yourself a real Continental pilot unless you have done a tour of duty in Guam.

I was Air Mic for 2 years 3 mos. and 7 days and loved it. But there also came the time to "get off the rock". But I would not trade the experience for anything.

And the above was correct. We grabbed a "bird" and just went and flew. Never felt like we had to explain ourselves to anyone. All in all probable the best time I've had at CAL. Just didn't know it at the time.

thanks for the info guys...i always dreamed of flying for CO one day and being based out of that part of the world. I agree it is a far cry from the many conveinces of life the mainland has to offer. Im currently in HNL getting my certificates and ratings and hopefully position myself for an interview with CO.
