The life of a humble UK Charter Pilot- any thoughts?
Well guys,
I'd really appreciate some advice and opinions here from those of you that can spare the time. At the moment I'm flying props for a scheduled airline and while it's good fun I'd like to move on to probably jet charter work when the upturn comes.
Basically, I'm looking for views on what life is like amongst the holiday charter operators MYT, Air2000, Monarch etc. Trouble is, a lot of the guys I fly with paint the picture of constant night flying/roster disruptions/time away from home/broken marriages etc. Saying that, most of these guys have never done charter work and so are only going on their own impressions.
Anyway, if anyone can throw some thoughts, opinions this way it'd be much appreciated- thanks..
