First thing...apply. Ya never know.

Secondly, start prepping your self for long periods of time waiting. I highly recommend getting a blackberry, it has all your email/phone/text, and yet has brickbreaker/texas hold em/worms and facebook. Laptops with t.v shows and movies are key. That should take care of the waiting at work. Waiting at home on call, I suggest a hobby. Making wine, breeding dogs, growing facial hair, building decks, creating a mould farm. The possibilities are endless. You must grow emotionally unattached to waiting. You'll have plenty of time to practice

I work for a private corporation, same pax, routine trips and the odd surprise here and there. I highly recommend it. Most flights are at the end of the business day, so I rarely get up before noon. Fly high, fly fast. Cool machines. I can't say enough.

It takes a different kind of person to excel at this job as it is a different kind of job. You'll find yourself in a strange city in the middle of the night searching for mustard as if your job depends on it, because it might. If you're looking for a stable, predictable job, this isn't it.

Skylink Express is currently looking for corporate first officers to fly cardboard executives on their converted 1900's. Good lifestyle, pleasant place.
