30West -

Your comments are true enough probably - I certainly would not argue with them. Flying AG, or Air Attack is probably not the quickest way to an airline - although some people fly Caravans as a time builder and get Tubine PIC - which you can also get flying AG (I know Single TPIC is probably not very useful).

Some people want to do something besides the airlines though - some like Freight, some want 135 and some want corporate. I DO think that AG or Air Attack is a worthwhile pursuit to those that are passionate about it. And, the title of the website is "Jet Careers", which opens it up to all kinds of flying - many of the AG planes are turbine powered as well as many Air Attack machines. I think that this thread can add to this website by showing newbies another side to aviation. One of the problems I see is that kids who are passionate about flying are not necessarily exposed to all that aviation has to offer and to the unique opportunities that may exist.

Certainly can't argue with your statements though, and it is good to have the different viewpoint to show the good/bad with different occupations.
