Krismiler, were you serious??
"The trade off for lower pay is a more relaxed working environment without having every aspect of your day micromanaged with SOPs, over regulation and endless simulator checks"

Do you really think they are not working to strict SOPs? Do you really think they are not doing 6 monthly sim sessions?? Quite offensive that you dumb it down. Professional aeromedical pilots operate to strong SOPs and are trained and tested to the same standard as the airlines...

And I'd like to know what constitutes a bush pilot now. These days the aircraft are fitted with advanced avionics and GPS guidance - not much different to airlines. The difference is dirt strips and less radar ATC guidance. Still lots of following the magenta line.
