That would be a LOT easier to do actually, if you don't know what you are doing on the Otter on floats, specially in sea operations, you will be wearing it as a hat in no time. I don't think you will get hired there with those minimums either, they want experienced float drivers.

2300 a month as an FO to move half way across the world. Sounds like yet another way to have your pants pulled down again in this career.

Just wondering how this is defined.
3 months on/1 off?
Is that a fixed or flexible schedule?
Is travel to/from the US, and does that cover 3 trips per year?
I don't have any float time, so how much flying per month would I expect as an FO?

Not exactly...almost all of the women there on vacation are with their significant other and the locals DO NOT like expats.

A legitimate point. If I did something like this, it would be with my mil pension. I've kicked around the idea of departing the beaten path after this chapter closes. This, maybe AK,...
It's just a collection of ideas for now, but regardless, if I pulled the trigger, it certainly wouldn't be for the $.

I'd be very mindful of events on the ground in that isolated region.
