correction
Sorry Wrench! You are correct. My math is screwy. Ideally we are on 182 days on site per year...not the reality!
On top of on site days (operational base) we are actually on the job, including training at FSI (pilot here), well over 200 days per year plus travel plus ET if applicable.
I was only comparing us to an ambulance pilot on shift for XXX days per year.
IMHO they are on site/ on duty less days per year than us. In my example my friends gross pay is higher and he is on duty less than an offshore driver.
HOWEVER, we all know our incentive is the OETC and/or the non resident tax scenarios...(Canada tax rules).

P.S. Just "comparison shopping" right now!!
