I plan to be a pilot "when I grow up", and when I'm building hours I hope to work in the bush hopefully somewhere in western canada. I was wondering what the lifestyle is as a bush pilot:

1. Can you make friends out there or is everyone just in and out?

2. Where do you live, and how is your rent paid for... etc?

3. How much can one expect to get paid?

4. How is the night life? Do you associate with any good-looking females?

5. What dangers are there?

6. What's life like?

7. How often do you get to visit home?

8. What is an average working day like?

Those are just some questions I have, if you wish to include anyhting that would be great too, Thanks alot.
THose are just a couple questions

oh yea, I lan on getting my aviation diploma at Mt. Royal College, here in Calgary, What type of ratings will I need to work "in the bush"?
