Thank you for sharing. Is this for employees or contractors and did they mention the flight time or how the training was going to be conducted? It might not too bad for someone looking to do something different and I imagine the job is about as low stress as it comes.

I was offered this job after a few interviews but turned it down. Went back to military contracting rotations.I interviewed with them about 2 years ago. I was interviewed because of my missionary background and lots of over water flying in South East Asia. Additionally my mission board was also based in the Pacific. I guess it was natural for them to seek pilots who had been in the area. The job entails flying over water (1500-2500 feet) either the Marianas and or the Marshall Islands to spot illegal fishing. Illegal fishing is very common in that side of the world. My former mission has a contract flying BE-88 Excalibur with the Palau government which work in coordination with the US Coast Guard. The pilot's responsibility is to report any signs of illegal fishing to an ARINC in SFO (actually in Fremont CA), who relays the information to the Coast Guard. Additional work includes search and rescue as well. Pay was $60-70K, with a 1-2 months on and 1-2 months off (paperwork) Stateside in VA. They prefer 2-3 months on. The base was Majuro in the Marshall islands with the KA-200, flying about 4-6 hours a day. I had been to Majuro and some of the other islands in the Pacific. You can see the whole island in less than 2 hours. Airline services (UA) comes in about 2-3X a week depending on the season.
