info : "The position is flying skydivers in central Texas. You would need to relocate to Lexington, a small town about 45 min. east of Austin, and be available to fly
except for when we schedule days off (which you can certainly request time off - no problem with that).

A small cabin is provided. It has a single bed, small couch, satellite TV, microwave, small refrigerator, hot plate, kitchen area, etc. There is no charge for rent or utilities, so your living expenses will be minimal.

The maximum weight for our jump pilots is 185 lb.

We fly a C-182, normally to 10,000 or 12,000 AGL, and back down to pick up another load of skydivers, in a
30-minute timeframe. We are entering our slow season (winter), but
activity doesn't cease. Some weeks we fly jumpers on Saturdays and
Sundays only; some weeks we fly jumpers both weekend days plus maybe
three weekdays. We may fly all day from 9 or 10 a.m. - dark, or we may fly
just a few loads. It is highly variable, depending on the weather and time of
year. As an example, we flew 10 loads Saturday, 15 loads Sunday, and
we have a few loads during the week this week; there are also ferry flights for maintenance, and you get paid for those as well.

The pay is $16/hour for flying, which works out to $8/load, plus you get paid for ferry flights and also for keeping the plane and fuel pad clean.
In the past two years, we have flown 750-800 hours per year. Keep in mind, though, that it does vary from week to week and from month to month.

The other issue is that jump-flying is a pretty aggressive style of flying, so be sure you would have the personality to suit that. Not saying that you have to be an aggressive type of person, but this kind of flying is very different from most kinds of flying, especially different from flight instruction. Jump flying requires a lot of working with the plane to keep the best possible climb rate, and then the best possible descent without shock-cooking the engine. We are also aggressive with weather - we don't stop flying just because there are thunderstorms "in the area," since all of our flying is at this field."
