Poll: What kind of flying do you do and do you Like your job?  

Back>Front

Military> OH13/23, CH34, UH-1's (Primarily C/M). Great Training and Comradery.

Seismic> Peru Mountains and Jungle. Iran Mountains. Living in Tents/Camp. Just you and your Mechanic. Lots of flight time. Lots of decision making. Lots of External Loads. No good for Married life. +-2o days on/ 10-off.

Off-shore> 5ys in Persian/Arabian Gulf. Iran/Abu Dhabi/Dubai. Lots of boring flying. Good Salary. Hot w/ no AC. Lot of Twin Time

Factory Demo/Instructor Pilot. Good Training. LOTS of Travel. Great Experience. Meet lots of people. Many different A/C. 

Semi-Retired Contract Pilot> Training and Ferry Flights. Work when and where I wish. My 2nd Hobby.

Never flew HAA. I will leave this to others. 

My opinion> If you have a good Marriage and Family, pick what is good for your Family. Speaking from experience. Make the best of it.
