Depends... if you want a fire fighting job in the west... mountain and longline are requirements. If you want a Gulf of Mexico job, don't worry about it. Focus on getting your ratings, and instructing to get 1000 hours. Leave the extras out, if you ask me.

Where do thet do mountain training in FL? I wouldn't pay for long line training most companies will give you the training for free if you have the hours. There really is not a rating for being mountain certified.
