Well would that be a Cessna 402 or a Cessna 441? There could be a pretty large pay disparity between the two...

I'm currently in training for a on 135 on demand 402 job in the midwest. I'm getting $100 per trip, guarantied pay for 5 trips per week min, full benifits, and weekends off.

 

[421Driver]

I'm flying a 421 for $24,000/yr with one weekend off a month. Part 135.

Ouch....tell me it ain't so! I'd expect more like $35K/yr or more, but, then again, maybe not.

I was getting $250.00 a day/$15.00 per diem/day on the C421 a few years ago.

Ouch... $100.00 per trip for a 135 gig where you could see long 14 hour duty days?. That seems quite low even for the midwest.. Are you also getting per mile on top of that?.

I sure hope those benefits makes up for the lack of trip pay.

Actually 350 I don't think that its that bad. he's flying a piston twin for 26,000 per year and gets benies with weekends off. Not too bad.

In 1998 I made 20,000 as a PA31-350 capt and it was upped to 25,000 when I got my ATP. We were 5 on and 2 off on a rolling 2 off, e.i. in Jan you had fri and sat off then in Feb you had sat and sun off then March sun and mon off ect....

 

[illeagle]

that all seems like low pay. why do you fly for so little. Do you plan on regionals, fractionals, something else? Surely this is not career pay?

 

[illeagle]

whatyda make? Is it worth it?

 

[421Driver]

I actually went out looking for the lowest paying job I coud find. Pay is bumped up to $30k now with $38k coming soon. I also fly a BE20 for the same operator. I don't plan on making a career here, and the DO is never going to pay career salaries.

Ce402

The best Ce402 job that can be found is at Cape Air www.capeair.com

Nice aircraft, real inter-airline jumpseat arrangements, decent pay, paid holidays etc...

I would consider flying for them.

Jeez. You wanna see poverty, come fly the Canyon. On one hand, you can fly 135 PIC in a 402 with minimal hours, on the other hand, expect about 1,000/mo in company pay. Don't ask about the tips, they don't legally exist.... that's all I'll say. I've heard Capeair is the place to go for the 402, but as a mechanic I'll tell you it's nearly impossible to get parts for the 400 series anymore. Their days are numbered.

On the corporate side, I was offered a job flying a 320 and a 421 for 40k/year from a mexican resort. I thought it was low, seeing as I'd be married to the company, at their disposal on site 24/7. I asked for 50 and never heard from them again.

So it's off to Alaska, making 40+/year with garaunteed days off and benefits in a 207. Go figure.

I was paid $40,000 a year to fly a 404 and 414. No benefits and five 14 hour days per week, which included one weekend and one Saturday per month. Not a great QOL but I was home every night.
