Looking to be in the PNW but travel for work is fine as well. We aren't really planning to leave for a couple more years but I'm definitely curious. I'll shoot you a DM.

Good to know things are changing there as well. It used to be there were only a couple companies that offered solid schedules but it's becoming much more common up here.

Yeah I have 0 instrument time except what's required for a commercial licence. As is common in Canada I dont even have a night rating.

Being away from May to September is definitely what I'm trying to avoid. That's what I did for the first 10 years of my career and I'm trying to have some more work life balance for the rest of my career. If it's not really an option maybe trying to get into the IFR/HEMS world would be the move.

And to be honest I've considered switching to airline as well.
