It really does not matter who I work for since this information is pretty much universal.
I make good money...about $700.00 a day. Life here is that you fly, eat chow, go to the gym, hang out. Not much else to do.
Most operators prefer former military..but that is not a show stopper.
I came here with over 4000 hour total time/3000 multi/2500+ in jets, and about 350 turbo prop. Jet times seems to matter little. Low time guys without a mil background will have a tough go at it..and many places are no longer hiring.
If you cannot pass a clearance, your chances are slim..and they go balls deep into your life. Medical is not too bad...but most contracts require a military review of your fitness to fly.

The way it's typed sounds like I'm harassing you, but I promise, the questions are genuine questions I'm curious about. While some will say don't go, it's still something I'd like to experience if possible.
Thanks for any input.
