Great info, thanks.

Is there retirement and health insurance?

Also, I live about 2 hours from PDK (closest base). How often are you back at base at night during the 8 days on? My concern is being back at base often at night but not enough time to get home and back the next day but no hotel.

How often to do you see career changers get hires in their mid-40's?

Thanks again for taking the time to explain the in's and out's of the company and job; much appreciated.
