There is this job that I am considering taking (if you can even call it a job). Well, hears the deal, its flying a 172 about 70 or so hours a month doing fire patrol. The pay isn’t exactly great, well, its nothing. That’s why I’m not to thrilled about it. I have the free time to do it, so that’s not an issue. It requires a instrument rated commercial pilot though. And I have not seen the planes yet, but from what I heard, they are a peace of “poop”, I mean really bad. I guess I will just have to see for myself. You can all so get a chance to fly a twin, so that time would help a lot.
So that’s the issue. No pay and apparently bad planes (one told me that he doesn’t think its even airworthy). I only have a little under 250 hrs so the additional hours would help. So if you were in my shoes, what would you do? You’re a low time pilot, and want more hours. Would you take the job, at least until you get enough hours to get a “real” job?
I would really like to get a cargo job for a while, but according to there websites most of them require 1,000 hrs or more. So if you know of any places that hires someone like me, let me know.
