Anything over the 20/30 hours would be paid per hour.
The flying would be regional. 200-400 miles. Possible flights into mexico (not very often).
I’m curious how others are paid, and what other "rules" are established. e.g. additional charge for overnights, per diem etc.
Any one with this experience, i would appreciate hearing about it. Thank You |
I would charge $300 per day with a $900 per week cap and a 10 day per month guarentee. This way neither of you get screwed. They don't have to pay $2100 a week if you fly every day, but you get a few dollars every week incase they don't fly. They take care of all expenses. If I am put on a retainer they get priority over any other flying. I would also be willing to take care of managing the aircraft. I would not charge each person seperately. Who ever flies the most pays the most for the month.
Let me know if you have any questions,
Alex.
