My buddy has 20 years in with UPS and hates it. He plans to retire at frist opertunity. He starts each work day at 9am and get home around 6pm. Busy times like Christmas he works a lot of OT, 8am - 9pm and not by choice. His GPS tracked truck tells on him if he takes a break.

We make the same money ($118K last year), but while I often think it would be easier to do his job, I enjoy the down time in HAA to much to consider a change. When we are busy (IFR Program) it can be extremely stressfull. However on quiet day I get to take care of a lot of personal stuff which makes my week off, truly off time.

While I could do his job I don't think he could do mine. He works well on his own and would probably get run off by the Med Crew. I don't think I would let my dog ride in his truck not to mind a helicopter.

Fun guy to be around though.
