albert.sosa30 Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 Hello,My name is Albert and I'm currently in the middle of commercial training. I would say at this point, I'm definitely interested in eventually being a fire fighting pilot at some point. I would like to get a better scope of that field with some general questions. Some examples: *What company are you currently with?*What are the minimum requirements for applying?*What is your schedule like?*What is a work day like in the field?*What can I do to prepare for this field?*What are some risks involved with this work?*What is the estimated starting salary? (optional) Any other insightful input is appreciated, thank you in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE_COYOTE Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 It's a great career, but figuring out what the fickle USFS wants next year can be very stressful. I made the choice to fly the S-61 and it has been a rocky road for many of us, we are still not sure if we will have a place fire fighting for much longer. Choose your first company very carefully, it can make the difference of a good experience to a very traumatic one. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
