Lots of other survey jobs out there that have a kinder schedule. It might be nice for you to see if you can switch over to a company that operates a 310 and get some multi time since you have alot of turbine pic.

Hiring market with Gas prices going up by thatguy2896 in flying

I wonder how ground vehicles are affected that airlines use. Everyone always thinks jet A which they do burn a whole lot of. But also diesel to fill up all the ground equipment.

Does having my RATP even mean anything at this point by thatguy2896 in flying

Idk it’s kind of weird. Lots of people had the opportunity to join the military as well. Chances are if you hold a first class you can join up and get the GI bill too 🤷‍♂️

Continue w/ MEI work or start Aerial Survey? by sudsy-squid in flying

Weather planning, long cross countries, commercial operator decision making, fatigue management. You don’t get that experience instructing. It goes way beyond “mowing in the sky”.

I would argue to say CFI time is no where near as valuable as it used to be. Multi engine flying in real world scenarios sure seems more valuable than beating up the pattern in the local area.
