Thanks gents. This explains why I'm having trouble in my searches, it seems what I'm after is weird. That FlexJet link was a good "base" to work from, I'll keep an eye peeled for similar things.

Perhaps what I'm after is a "predictable" schedule that is appx 50% time without filling the other 50% with busywork.

I actually started a gig that was 135 and the recruiter indicated it was 2 on/2 off schedule. I got all the way through indoc and was about to complete in-plane training at my new base when I discovered "no, this is a 5 day/week gig". Oops. I feel bad how that turned out, but the training and flying was great. There was just a lot more of it than I wanted.

I mentioned the CJ3 gig because I've been asked twice to join my friend's pt91 pilot roster. I had to politely decline. As someone astutely noticed, I'm not jet ready. It's why I was wanting to aim at King Airs or similar as a step-up.

Perhaps my friend was offering me something rarer than I thought. I'll see him next week and chat him up about it in earnest.

Cheers for the ideas,

- Mike
