There’s no sick pay. The schedule is 8 days on, 6 off, with 4 set start times—3 of them end pretty late since you’ll be on duty for up to 14 hours a day. Lots of night flying and long nights hanging around FBOs—it kind of comes with the territory (Medevac). We only fly about 20 hours a month, and most flights are short—around 30 minutes—so it’s not great if you're trying to build hours. Moving into the left seat takes a long time and isn’t the easiest process.
