Most interesting "Time Building" Job for a USA CPL
 
Forgive me if this should be a spectator question, but it seems to fit here slightly better.

I am in an odd position professionally where, if I decided to become a professional pilot, most regionals would be a pay cut, but my job allows me to take a sabbatical (unpaid) after a number of years of service. I can't afford to take a year without any pay, but lately, as I have flown significantly less than I want to, I have been thinking about taking an 11-month pay cut to fly somewhere fun. I have read a bit about flying in Alaska, and that sounds like a good time, but I am wondering what other jobs exist that are more interesting than banner towing. I am especially curious about opportunities outside of the US.

What's the coolest job you have heard about that you can do with a US CPL? What extra training would be involved? What hours requirements have you seen for those positions? And last, where are they located?

What companies run freight in PR? What hour requirements do they ask for?
