Bill are those two posts related at all?

I applied for the Iraq gig and didn't hear anything. 700tt...probably not competitive. Fortunately I'm heading to UPT this year instead.

If I wasn't going into the Army in 2 months I would be all over that... but then again I'm sitting at 1400TT and 280 Turbine (not Caravan) so I guess I wouldn't have any luck, I do have my CFI and CFII with almost 700 instruction experience.

This government job openings come and go a lot, I almost wonder where all the pilots come from that fill them, since I've been around the horn awhile and haven't met anyone doing it. I'm guessing (even though it doesn't say so) that the probably give priority to ex military guys!
