Recent Ads say the UHAUL aircraft are operated "IAW 91 subpart K".
Not True.

As a PC-12 Pilot: No Pay Raise for three years.
Could not take vacation except when already scheduled Off.
Alaska, Canada and Lower 48 States.
2 weeks on, two weeks off all on the road.
SIMCOM Initial and Recurrent.
Had to use personal credit card for air fare, meals hotel, rental car, etc. reimbursement later within 30 days.
Aircraft expenses on aviation fuel cards.

CEO thought nothing of keeping Beechjet pilots out past midnight, and having them flying again with under 8 hours rest.

Once had to tell a VP that 16.5 hours of duty time with 8 hours flying was unsafe (single pilot).
Doesn't sound to good to be sure

As long as the reimbursement is quick I probably don't mind this part since I'd rake in the credit card points like a madman with that much time on the road!
