We are an aircraft management company that manages aircraft for corporations and individuals. We do on demand charter when the aircraft are not being used by their owners. Our average pilot works 15 days per month. Whenever you are not on a day off or flying you are considered on call.

Pilots have a minimum of 8 days off every month. It is not a job that someone can successfully commute to. Not many pilot jobs in the corporate arena allow for commuters. Not even the fortune 500 flight departments.

Feel free to PM me if you have any other specific questions.
I love flying and miss it dearly everyday. I have the flight experience you mentioned but man that schedule would be ruff. I had a job like that and remember a time when I had to leave a cart full of groceries while waiting in line because my pager went off. I could never get more than 30 minutes away from the airport, couldn't go to a movie, couldn't take a long walk. Everything I did had to be accomplished within 30 minutes of arrival at my airport. It is like being on reserve 24/7

I have a similar opportunity at a a former employer however they only pay LJ35 captains 45K. FO's make much less.
