I have been considering persuing a career as a F-27 pilot pushing packages under 135. can anyone provide me with any direction. I was considering MAPD previously for 121, and now I am thinking FS, with the eventual goal of flying the Friendship. Who knows maybe even more, but i am trying to set some realistic goals. (Is there any place to train for 135 ops?) I have even considered having the goal of eventually flying for AIRNET. I am just unsure as to the path i should take. I might consider the FBO thing as well. If i decide to retire from the military, ill use my base flying clubs, but the multi time there will be minimal. who knows. any ideas.

i really would love to hear some fresh honest direct and usefull advice from anyone willing and in a position to provide it. i would love to hear from the 121 guys and the 135 guys, as well as anyone from airnet and mountian air cargo.

i am 8 years away from militay retirement, have 2 degrees, and i am a professional meteorologist.

thank you in advance for your greatly appreciated time and advice. and if any of you know anyone in a position to become a mentor that could provide me with ongoing professional direction and advice, please let me know.
