Part 135 operations in S. Fl is all you need to see to see why...

mojo6911 · January 25th, 2008, 15:38

$100 a day ain't bad, if you fly 15+ days a month.

OldTownPilot · January 25th, 2008, 15:41

Once you add the day rate it doesnt seem to be too bad. For a person working 200 days a month (easy math, and in the ball park) that ads 20k to the CA pay and 10k to the FO pay, making it 56k for the CA and 28k for the FO.

When the captain gets tired of being there and the FO has 2500, plus whatever the insurance requires, and if they like him/her, then they'll upgrade that person.

You can say that again

johnd1982 · January 26th, 2008, 17:51

Anybody know any details about this company, their website is a little lacking on information about them - www.elitejett.com

Wonder what kind of King Air it is?
Also if they fly regular enough for that $50/day to add up to something!

Wow. 200 days per month... That's one long month! Sorry, just had to say something since I got a snicker out of that one. If the person flys that often, it is comperable to Regional pay for someone of the same experience. And flying the King Air may be more fun since I bet you get to go to better places than the airline route structure brings you. So pay not too bad if looked at as a great place to build hours over a few years.

OldTownPilot · January 26th, 2008, 18:54

Whoops.....Brain Fart.

Ya know what I meant

182 days a year would be half the year, and I made it easy math and said 200 days per YEAR.

matteo · January 26th, 2008, 22:16

The mins for a 135 FO is a commercial. If you are flying a twin, you need the multi and in the soup you need your instrument. The 1200 hour minimum that people talk about is to be a PIC in a 135 operation.

Go and price out a cheap apartment down there. If you don't spend at least 1000 a month on it, you'll get shot at on your way home. Rent in southeastern FL is REALLY high. The cost of living is off the charts.

Because most of them are shady 134.5 operations, and if you stick around long enough you'll get either violated or killed.

No I'm not being sarcastic.
