I wonder why that is? That would be a sweet job to get out of the military, I suppose flying things like C-130's is very similar to flying a jumbo jet with freight.
This is the case, they listed the terminal location but didn't elaborate on the route locations. You're right I probably would have felt the same way, I wonder if they didn't divulge that information for a purpose?
I'm hoping my contractor is on their game, I'll find out soon enough.
You're saying in 5 years I'll be doing the same thing and getting the same pay if I stick with this ISP? I wouldn't doubt that to be honest. I never went into this with the aspirations of making anything out of my pilot career, I just threw it out there on whether it would create any network opportunities in the future. I've actually thought about flying in Alaska but have stayed local due to various responsibilities, that would sure be an experience though.
Scary to think that but wouldn't be surprising if it happened sadly.
One thing one of the contractors stated to me, though this was a different one than the one I'm working for, is that they don't offer overtime and that the workday is usually less than 8 hours. I'm not sure that would actually be the case since it sounds like too good of a deal and the guy telling me this had pretty bad english. Don't they have to offer overtime after 8 hours in a workday unless you're doing 4 day work weeks? (What happened at Amazon). $12 would be a pay decrease from the $15 I was making at Amazon, sad part was the other ISP's in the same operating area as us were making $18 and were paid by the route instead of the hour so they would often get in after 5-6 hours and get paid for the day. One of the things I'm looking forward to is working the same route, that was one of the most frustrating parts about Amazon, they would give you a new route everyday and you would go through the struggle of figuring everything out over and over again until you learned it after weeks. I agree that $12 should not be attributed with the most stressful jobs.
