i worked there last year, find a good group of people to go around with. you'll likely have at least a few other people based at the same locations throughout the season so if you can let simon/bob know where you want to go you can kinda stick together. Getting stuck with someone who doesn't hold up their end of planning out the projects gets really old really quick and if they generally suck, it can make life on the road miserable. You'll have lots of down time with weather, can't do anything about it, especially early on if you're in the midwest. Its not a bad way to build time, you'll learn a lot. you'll also get kinda bored because you are flying a grid most of the time. The pipeline stuff was fun to me. Dealing with the receipts and rental car stuff can get pretty annoying, there was a decent amount of paperwork after every flight as well. I'm glad I did it, but i'd never do it again. If you got any questions post'em i'll try and answer what I can to help.
