Hey guys, I need some help as someone I know is about to purchase a cessna 414/421 and wants me to fly it for him. The pay is good (40K), the only problem is I dont have a clue as to how to fly a turbo piston engine aircraft. Will the insurance company require that I go through some type of trainning? All of the flying will be part 91. Also did most of you 421/414 drivers out there go through some sort of formal training before you actually got your jobs? I am currently on furlough with a 121 express carrier and will probably only end up flying for him for about 6 months. This being said would it be worth him to send me through trainning? He knows I will be going back soon but still wants me to help him get things started. Back to the pay, should I negotiate a higher pay with days off as I think he will need me on call 24/7. What are some of the work rules that you 421/414 drivers have? Do you have holidays and weekends off? As you can tell this is a total new experience for me and any advice you might have would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
