Decided to switch from EMS (back when no NVGs provided for mountainous terrain at night) to FW. Fractional and for an airline.
Fractional was week on week off not including commute and pilots carried out a lot of duties like stocking aircraft with alcohol, cleaning the lav, loading bags onto a/c, etc. Pressure was immense. Had multiple in-flight emergencies including engine failure on take-off.
Airline schedule sucked with low seniority and was hard on my family plus didn't pay that well. My spouse picked up the lion's share of work at home and I didn't see my young children as much as I'd like.
EMS today has safety protocols that ensure rest and safety (NVGs, etc.) and I enjoy the week on week off schedule. |
