I'm flattered Matt

If anyone wants the full story of how I've managed to make the jump from 8 years in a boring IT desk job to my dream job as a pilot, I'd be happy to write it some time

Basically, I've managed to land a job flying Cessna Grand Caravans for a small charter company out in Indonesia. This time in two weeks I'll be on an aeroplane heading for Singapore

[Obiwonkeyblokey]

thats quality - well done mate - you were completing your PPL the same time as me. good skills.

Flying in Indonesia! I read somewhere they have the worst safety record you could imagine!

Taken from BBC website: Indonesian carriers do not currently fly to Europe, but the ban serves as a warning to consumers not to use these airlines elsewhere in the world. "European citizens should avoid flying with these carriers," an EU official said. "They are really unsafe."

Congratulations on the dream job mate, im just jealous!

[RemaL]

Matt glad your happy and all the best. i'll miss you you daft sod

just make sure you give me a PM when you might come home for a holiday and I can pop over

[bint]

<jealous> and yeah, Garuda has a bit of a rep for safety records, but having flown on one of their long haul (Schipol to Bali) flights, I have no quibbles.

Best of luck with it!

Well done mate

[Moose.]

Cheers guys!

I won't be flying for any of those typically dodgy Indo airlines you hear about, but for a much more reputable and newer charter company. Their oldest aeroplane is about 5 years old which is very young in the aviation world

After reading my post again I really didnt mean any offence or that its unsafe in any way mate, just thought it was funny thats all! I really wish you all the best & good luck. Must be a great feeling to land your dream job....

[Moose.]

No offence taken

Yeah, it feels pretty good. Felt quite surreal sitting in the M5 traffic earlier, thinking I only have to put up with that for a few more days
