hey guys and gals,
any of you charter pilots out there have any thoughts on life on a one hour call out? i don't mind the thought of it, i've been on more demanding schedules, but i live in a location that is physically further than a 1 hour drive (with no traffic) from a potential charter job. my thought is that i could stage myself somewhere closer to the airport in the hours that i am on-call, but i really don't know what those hours would be yet. moving is kind of out of the question, because it does not make good financial sense for me to sell my house and move for the amount of money involved for this potential job.
so, anybody have any thoughts or advice on life as an on-call charter pilot? do companies sometimes bend the rules in certain circumstances?
as always your thoughts and comments appreciated.
