Agree here...Keith Smith wrote:I think posting some multi-route hops to help people get in the door is a good idea. However, I think it's also possible to over-think and over-engineer the FSE environment. The fun goes away pretty quickly if you have to spend too long getting a flight together.
This is my downfall, I'm sure. I see the jobs listed and start to chase the money. Sometimes the chase can be furn, but the bus factor is real.Keith Smith wrote:The FSE web site is quick & easy to use...it really isn't that hard to click a candidate destination, check nearby airports and come up with a plan of action.
I agree that there can be many, many choices of which airplane to use and where to fly but at the end of the day, you can't go too far wrong by picking up some jobs and just flying them Part of the fun is supposed to be trying new fields and new combinations of segments. If it becomes to over-engineered or too heavily automated, I believe the fun factor will go away and you'll soon be 'flying a bus', doing the same routes on a routine basis, just chasing the money.
I guess what I'm trying to find is a center point where an FSE flight will intersect with a structure like the PE ratings. Meaning, when I log on to PE with a goal (like trying a VOR DME arc for the first time) I can combine that with the realistic scenario of flying passengers or freight. Some would call it overthinking and it *is* sometimes.
