Day rate for King Air pilot

[Kaman]

Hello,
I am curious what the day rate is on the King Air, primarily the 90 series. I fly an F-90 in a single-pilot flight dept. Recently, my employer brought on another "dry-lease" client. As a part of the agreement, the client provides their own pilot(s). Since I am the only pilot on the insurance I do the flying as an independent contractor ane recieve $300.00/day. My boss and I agreed that this would be my rate he'd qoute. Well, he negotiated $275.00 with another client without consulting me. I am royally pissed, but not quite sure how I want to handle it. Curious if anyone else out there in the Part 91 corporate world has faced a similar situation and how the dealt with it. Thanks.

Regards,

I think 300 is too low not to mention 275. I use contract guys for a Navajo and pay them 400/day. KA-90 day rate should be 400-500 at least.

I'd be really careful with this 'dry lease' arrangement. Here there be dragons.

I get $500 a day plus expenses for B350 in the Chicago area.

Of course if you were a contract pilot the $275-300 dollars day rate is ridiculous, your case is different as a corporate cp, how does you annual income stack up compared to other 90 series pilots?
