Well, I'm not saying he's not qualified. I'm saying the number I'm going to offer a potential pilot will depend upon his or her experience, background and scope of operation/activities he or she will perform. I can't say if at 36 hours a month if that's considered full time employment or part time. Honestly, I don't know. Personally, it sounds high. I would enjoy a perspective from someone who would contradict my perception. That way I would better understand the justification for $36K.

Yes you did. You called the pilot a 300 hour pilot with less than 6 months of training. You do not realize that private and corporate owners have their
own motivations for running a Mooney or Twin and that there is no set standard... for all I know they could pay him $120K if they loved him enough. If he in fact had only 300 hours he may not be flying the twin single pilot anyways - last time I checked these airplanes needed insurance too. Unless you have significant time in type thats going to be a fun game to watch @300 TT.
To the OP: keep in mind that there are people with many more hours and much lower motives waiting for a gig like this. Talk to the owners and find out if their first pencil insults you. If it does, let them open it up to the market. I assure you, it will be gone in
no time.
If not, pull out your calculator and see where you stand. Heck you learned to be a Commercial Pilot - maybe it's time to take responsibility for your life and find out if you can make a buck on your own. Your life is your
business. It's the "MOONEYGUY, Inc." You are the CEO. Act like it.
