Do you get any sort of vacation time while working? Air America did 2 one week vacations and they flew you on their dime to anywhere in the lower 48 and gave you $500 for the week. Now I doubt every company does that, but some sort of time off would be nice.

Nope, no time off. I got three days off for Christmas, but I heard that that was the one and only year (2007) that he did that. You'll have plenty of unscheduled days off though, due to weather.

Then I ran out of money, but that's another story!
But really, the pay definitely eases the pain.

+1 on the money thing. I was able to save 11k while still having to pay rent back home and bills. Paid for my multi rating and I'm just about out of money now. Season ended in May.
Only time off is weather, being sick, or being "sick."
I think I saw a post on 350 not too long ago so there might still be time but it's getting close. I know he's hired at least a couple of people. Good news is that I think he has to replace nearly all his pilots from last season. Most found other jobs or are not coming back. I'd say at least 6 slots out of 11.
