New job...

[terbang]

PS. Can I have your burner job?

They are hiring at the moment, short of around 25. The industry has recovered well since Sept 11 esp in the business end. Lotsa good jobs out there.

Jeez Terbang, that sounds a dream job. Interesting airspace, great aircraft, nice lifestyle. What happens to your QuaintArse seniority? If and when you return is it to the back of the bus?

Once you leave, you lose your slot and if you come back its at the bottom of the pile again. I have found that going back to an old job is a bit like going back to an old girlfriend. You rapidly realize the reason why you left in the first place.

Coincidently, Terbang - did you train civil or through the air force?

Civilian, Started as a hobby when I was an apprentice at 17. Started in an old piper cub off a grass strip. Got hooked and have flown most weekends since! Couldn't afford the hobby so I did it as a job instead. Cost an arm and a leg to qualify but worth it. It is still, 30 years later, very much a passion.

Its a scary move leaving the security of a large airline such as Qantas, but it is also exciting looking forward to other opportunities. You only live once.

One you've settled, you'll never look back. Fantastic move Terbang. Funny how the mind works... the first thing I thought of was "NO TAX". I take it you've made an appointment with your accountant?
