Be prepared to live in outstations except for the summer- and if you get bos/hya for the summer, youll be moving each september until you're senior enough to hold a hub year round. Might take 3 years or more. Also if you do "commute", youll be riding a 402 back to your base and they hold 9 pax so good luck commuting. If things have changed from 2010 in a major way- please correct the above info. peace
<<<Rides a 402 back to his base and commutes weekly. Plan on spending more time in your out station than at home. Finding another pilot who will shift swap days helps.
Based in BOS or STL helps tons but guys do it in the out stations. Maybe my idea of commuting is wrong, but I've yet to spend a single day off in base.
