Contract pilot agency

[Groundpounder]

Has anyone ever heard of a contract pilot referal agency? What I mean by that is a company that helps people find contract pilots when they need them, and helps contract pilots find work.

Oddly enough, I know someone who is investigating the feasability of this very thing. Their concept is a small office that maintains a stable of contract pilots, and which actively pursues contracts with Corporate and Charter operators on behalf of their pilots for a percentage. The representing agency would establish a minimum rate for pilot positions based on seat, aircraft size, etc. which would hopefully diminish the potential for the low-balling that often goes on among guys trying to eat and stay current and CFIs or part-timers who would kill for some turbine multi time (like me ).

So I'd be interested, also, to know whether or not the more experienced pros think something like this would work? I assume other companies have thought of it, or are already doing it?

Hi all,

Someone already thought of it, but this one looks high dollar:

I think this is the one that Resume' Writer works with.
