    I'm glad you enjoyed it! It makes me happy to know there are still pilots who don't want to just go straight to the airlines. Good luck with getting your ratings and hopefully we'll see you out here someday!

    @Ricky Bobby I hate to sound cliché but it really was right place at the right time. However, my resume was properly padded with cfi experience, a little Alaska time, and some time in a caravan. Basically I would recommend looking at your dream job, see the requirements and start working on checking off boxes. You'll learn a lot along the way and be a better pilot for it. Good luck wherever you end up!

    When I was training for my CPL one of my instructors was a missionary pilot in PNG for 7 years. The extra curricular training I received was brilliant. But as a female I was told by him never fly there! Man dog woman in that order. I would not survive. Just before I got my CPL a female helicopter pilot had her throat slit through the night in PNG. Different place for sure.

    PNG is wild. The Indonesian side isn't great for women but it's definitely not that bad. I've known a few female pilots here and other than being harassed by drunks, they are generally treated well and really enjoy their time in Papua.
