One week in my gig w/ Star Marianas Air, after 40 plus hours of travel time, a huge time zone change, and sweating pounds off already I made it through my first week. And I love it! First off the islands are beautiful but very hot! The management is very friendly along w/ the fellow pilots! The planes are island planes, no GPS, usually only one radio, and they are old. However m/x is really on top of everything and stuff gets fixed quickly. 4 flying days in and I got 25 hours, so you'll be doing loads of flying. I stayed in the company apartment for the week, but the pilots recommended a lot of places to stay so it was easy finding an apartment. Finding a car is a little more difficult, will probably have to rent for a while. So far I really like the job, it's very different from the mainland but it's a really neat first gig. Good luck to all who are considering it. Let me know if you have any questions.
