    we are a Canadian company that contracts our aircraft. Can't beat the work schedule. 8 weeks on and 8 weeks off. Only downside is that we are based in Africa which isn't all that bad.

    Either or - these positions are "non-traditional" piloting positions... you just need to be and stay 90 day current, have a class II and have a current BFR

    Fort Worth is the hub ;)

    Must have PPL+Instrument. You'll fly the unmanned side of the house for the majority of the time, but then pilot our T182T or SR22T to New Mexico and west/panhandle texas on occasion

    BTW "non-traditional" pilot positions equates to flying unmanned aircraft in the NAS under a FAA pathfinder program COA for the purposes of critical infrastructure inspection. Aircraft will fly throughout the US and be piloted at a central hub in the Ft Worth area.

    :D

    Ya watch your tailrotor :eek:

    We fly both the toys and the prevalent DoD systems that are out there as well but since we operate the largest commercial UAS project in the US we hold ourselves to a different standard :D
