Best pilot job?
I hear from a friend in the RFDS that EMS helicopter blades don't create lift after dark...
It's nice flying at night, direct everywhere, no holding. There was a thing over on the Freight Dog forum 'You know you're a freight dog if...'
I reckon it's the best kept secret of aviation.

Dragonair has a part time scheme. You probably get the same pay or more than a Jetstar Capt. Month on and month off with a months leave. So 5 months work for the year.
The souring note being you still have to fly into China.

I would have to agree. My first SAR operation was as a volunteer crewman on the 1998 Sydney to Hobart, and after watching those Pilots and Paramedics in action I was filled with respect and awe. I can't think of a more satisfying job.
Flying from war canoes must be the pinnacle of fixed-wing aviation; unfortunately not available to us these days. But then you are a very, very lucky bastard, aren't you DBTW?!
From all the flying I have done nothing has come close to conducting a life saving AME or disaster relief.
Pretty rewarding stuff.
I reckon the EMS/rescue guys have the best gigs
