135 Pay for Piston Twin

[Timebuilder]

Are you saying $30/hr in addition to the 18k?

I'd expect $100 to $150 per day for the Nav, but I wouldn't expect more than $25k total for the year.

Since I was paid only for the time I spent teaching, I think you have a unique situation. Ten hours per week at $30 per hour is $15,600, , plus the $18,000 is $33,600. If they are willing to add another $75 per day, I'd say you have to be working for your family.

I made about $17,000 for instructing, and less than $2,000 additional for the Navajo.

I think you are in the upper 10% of instructor/ light twin pay.

Networking.

I'm doing better than I did as a CFI, and less than you will do as you described.

Pay varies by geography and market forces. I make less than typical, but it is a "stepping stone" job, and far better than not working. Mx is good, and my biggest complaint is the seat. The Lear seat is spartan, to say the least.

This time next year, I hope to be making over 50k.

Things could be much worse for me. I consider my current job a blessing.
