Interesting post wildpilot, fair play.
I'm an airline pilot and, as has been hinted at above, can't afford to take a drop in pay at the minute. I'm lucky in that I get a decent amount of time off, winters especially, so I can, if I want, do some fun flying then if the itch needs a scratch. Give me a job doing what you describe and paying me what I get now and I'd strongly consider it!
Pigs, fly, etc.
