You will work your a.s.s. off at Lacy. You will only get about 4 days per month where you are not on call (and those are subject to change of course). Also, as a co-pilot you will have to quote charters once a week or so. This means that at 5 p.m. the Lacy phones will be forwarded to your home phone until 9 a.m. the next morning. You will get calls from all over the world (when the phone rings at 3 a.m. your time it might be 3 p.m. their time). If the charter is a go then you will set up everything, from the catering to rounding up the pilots.
As far as Clay being tough, you WILL have to pass "his" checkride before your upgrade. As far as the scab issue is concerned, I think the reason Clay crossed the picket line had more to do with his old fashioned work ethic than selfishness. Over all he is a pretty straight shooter and nice guy.
Bottom line is that it is a great place to build time and get great experience. The flying is great and the money isn't bad for that type of work. But, you will work hard. Hopes this helps.
