Daily contract rate for new G-IV SIC?

[semperfido]

Thanks to those that actually answered the question that I asked. As to the rest of you, I enjoyed the comments, very entertaining. (BTW, I didn't buy the Type.......... didn't have to, because I have such a wonderful attitude.)

....... instead of a gold watch. you are a sarcastic so and so. maybe you should have talked them into an RV.

You should be getting from $500-750 per day as a G IV crew Member. There are certainly many variables considering the type of operator you get to work with. I think you may have hindered yourself by getting the type rating first instead of finding an operator who would allow you to get typed on their certificate. Anyway, what's done is done, best of luck to you.

I charge 1000 a day. PIC or SIC doesn't matter its the same rate because I can operate as a PIC.

With NO jet time and NO gulfstream time your chances of getting in the door are slim. Your only chance would be to undercut everyone else and when someone asks me why my rate is so high (average for the NE) when they can get someone at 1/3 the rate I say you get what you pay for.

There is a problem with NO jet time. You might find employers might assume with your total time that you forgot to put it in your resume so you want to be upfront with it. I do know that when the ********************e hits the fan I'll pick up the sticks. And I'm not talking about in the air. I'm talking about ground ops. I already know what to do when a converter fan fails, or how to add oil, or how to troubleshoot a gremlin. That is where the aircraft experience comes in especially on the back side of the world.

So in reality your total time doesn't mean a thing. So that means that your no jet time and no gulfstream time is going to put you at the bottom of the callback list.

Hopefully your can do attitude, willingness to forget everything about brand X or where you came from, and ability to play nice with others will make up for it.

Good luck but you have a tough hill to climb. I gotta ask though how did you get 10000hrs with no jet time?

He's got 3,500 ME and 2,000 turbo-prop, so 1,500 of the 3,500 is probably in pistons multi's. I'm also wondering how you get to 10,000 without ever touching a fixed-wing jet aircraft.

I do have a friend who had 7,500 TT and only 300 hours of that was ME piston....he was a banner tower for a decade :lol:

He got lucky and got into a Gulfstream II for his first jet job. 4 years later he's still an SIC in the GII.

Its quite a leap to have 10k and no jet time to a Gulfstream job. Should have bought a citation or lear type, you might actually get to use it.

Really the 10k in hours is about the same as 2k.

What was your work experience? That will really be able to tell us if you have a shot.

In corporate, the Gulfstream community is the top of the heap.

Haha! Spare me. Top of the heap? I think not... With that attitude, I'm suprised YOU made it in the corporate world.

...just another arrogant former airline guy in a Gulfstream.

oh boy, here we go again. i don't think TC meant it the way you took it. Kings, Queens & Heads of State don't usually fly around in Beechjets (not that there is anything wrong with that).

Looks like a hit and run post. Oh well I was interested how someone could get 10000 hrs and no jet time, yet think they were going to jump into a gulfstream and fly around the world.

He didn't make it. We chewed him up, spit him out, and sent him packing back to the regional airlines where he makes $9 an hour...

Haha! There it is, that's the Gulfstream attitude I was looking for! That said, I'm not sure you can call a G200 a Gulfstream though...


The arrogant former airline comment was meant "tongue in cheek" as that also describes myself. It's hard to read tone on the computer screen though...
