About a year ago we found a "kid" pilot about 25 years old or so. He wants to be an airline pilot. That requires 1,500 hours of flying time before they will even consider you as a pilot. We use him when my business partner is out of town. He loves the time and he gets paid to do it, and no cost to him. Renting an 182T like ours is $225 per hour, so he gets flying hours and paid at the same time. Win Win for him.
My business partner is our regular pilot. He is an instructor, and has all the hours he ever wanted, and flying is just a job now. My business partner is in has been in Tennessee right now on a long two month project.
Our connections with FEMA once again wanted him to fly to Guam, after a second big typhoon. We asked the kid if he would be interested in going to Guam, and flying Guam, Rhoda, Tinian, other island in the Mariana Islands area. He was excited to do it. As short flight to Houston, then all the way to Hawaii. A layover and then another long flight to Guam. Rent a 172, and fly his butt off for several days. He is having a blast, and his buddies will all be jealous. And my business partner is happy he does not have to do it again.
