As for the questions above; It can get a bit boring at times but even on the turn-arounds I get to collect the miles and I like that. FT is a place where people discuss doing mileage runs so I don't see the issue at all. Depending on where the courier is based (9 places) determines what % of trips are turn-arounds. Where I am, Frankfurt, it's probably close to 50%. Believe me, the other 50% makes up for the turn-arounds. We go to places that no one in their right mind would ever pay to go.

On Facebook you should see my "been there" map, not just Rome and Paris pinned!

One important note; on the pay, no one, and I mean no one will start at the max pay. If you can't handle the minimum applying may be a waste of your time. You may get more then the minimum but you should plan for the worst.
The pay is pretty bad.
