pay/benefits sound correct… don’t forget the $3000/mo stipend. You’ll be on RSV probably the full 2 years. Good news is a special reserve rule exist allowing pilots to do their reserve requirement for the month in a single string. Other than the island hopper to HNL most trips are out/backs with some overnights here/there. If you like water sports and a laid back town it will be a vacation. If you have school age kids or family needs recurring medical treatment it might not be so good. Cost of living and taxes are high.
