When I took early retirement, I signed up with a company of Head Hunters. They offered me a job for a Rock and Roll band that was going on tour for 18 weeks. They needed an experienced B-757 pilot to cart them around. All I had to do was to fly the plane. I didnât have to load and unload the instruments, clothing, nothing, except fly the plane. I could even hire my own co-pilot or First Officer.
The problem I ran into was that it was a tour in parts of Europe and the U.S. I had never flown International, but that wouldnât have stopped me. The money was great. The paid days off were also very good. Everything was fine. The problem that I had was that I was told there would be a lot of wild partying going onboard while in the air. I have very strict rules about behavior while flying and the group wasnât willing to meet them. They even offered me a $100,000.00 bonus to turn a blind eye, but I told them they would be better off getting someone else.
