That was my initial thought when he called me last night. But after looking at the contract - $120,000 to work about 20 days a month and fly the fastest civilian jet in the world to some pretty cool places doesn't sound like a terrible alternative to sitting reserve at LGA and making $45,000. And it's certainly better than waiting on a call that might not come for another several months, IMO.

My gut says doing it for a year would be a good experience for him and may open up some opportunities down the road. But, I agree with you that there will probably be some really crummy aspects to that gig.
