Freezingflyboy and NoDeskJob are right about most of it. They are just different and easy. They pop up in open time as a 2 day (really a 1 day) and it’s like flying for another airline for a day. They typically start and end in DH’s were you can deviate and work a day less. You typically fly 1 or 2 legs. The food is usually really good. NBA has healthy stuff (but tasty) and MLB eats like children. I even like the reposition legs with an empty jet that you call for taxi from the Atlantic FBO and then yell at the charter coordinator through the open cockpit door that your taking off. You are completely on the teams time, so that means sometimes missing flights and plenty of sitting around, but missing a flight can mean more pay and I think of it as being paid to sit around and read my book. The coordinators are hard working and good at their job. I couldn’t do their job because they are nomads living out of suitcases. To me they live like Quantum Leap wondering if the next flight will be the one home. I couldn’t do them all the time, but once a month or so is fun.
