But on the plus side you get to wear a nice orange reflective vest 2 sizes to big that gets in the way of everything. And have the FAA watching your every move. I just turned down an offer from the DO. He says the new Alaska safety culture is entirely his doing and wants everyone to know that. Turned him down on the spot. Never met someone with a bigger ego.
Well with 2 crashes last year they have to do something. That is pretty darn good pay though!
