Hi,

Not sure what you're really trying to ask here, but I will give you a couple of my observations. First of all if you are a low time pilot the benifits would be that you don't have as much support as an airline guy, you have to be able to file flight plans, maybe do a little of your own maintenance, be very familiar with ground handling aspects of your aircraft such as fueling and defueling and cold weather storage. Also you fly to a variety of airports in various countries, some small airfields without towers, many nonprecision approaches, all this stuff I mentioned is great experience. Some negative aspects may be things like a poor schedule, possibly many one sector days with few opportunities for first officer landings, hard to deal with captains, poor oportunities for upgrade, minimum training. Of course I am just taking a stab in the dark here, not sure what type aircraft you are going to operate or how large the company is. Happy landings.
