A LOT!!!!! You should be very well compensated for not having a life of your own if you are going to be on call 24/7.

two days a week of flying is not much time building - and Im guessing that is the only reason you are willing to take a job where you are "on call" 24/7.

dont get me wrong - I have done that too - but I flew 5-6 days a week and left that $hit in about a year...with the hours to get a good job.

on call 24/7? --- at $6/hr that is over $1000/week

that is minimum wage, I think you might be worth minimum wage.

lol. As if any of these companies will pay you 6$ per hour while being on-call for a 24 hour shift. You know better than that, G.


I think you are prolly flying like a Cheyenne II or III maybe? Capt salary for entry lvl is like 35-40k. FO is 25-30k if you r lucky. Take it from someone who knows. Been there, done that, still doing that.

The aircraft is a Navajo. In addition I'd be responsible for washing the plane and scheduling maintenance. What do you guys think?

On call at all times, keeping aircraft clean, looking after Mx, etc. Thats a full time job.If you maintain the aircraft properly and schedule hotels, rental cars, etc. you will have less time off than you think.
To me it doesn't matter if it's a Navajo, C-421, Cheyenne, or King Air, you still do the same job and are worth what you are worth. My guess would be somewhere between $40, & 55K depends on where you are located and how professional you are.

Washing the airplane now too? Cmon, thats not what you got into this career field to do right? Run away, Run away from this job. Unless you REALLY need the time.

I've flown navajos for three different outfits. Started out part 135 (300 hrs/yr) and as you would expect it pays the least...started me at $35k. I then flew a private owner around in his aircraft part 91 (175hrs/yr) and was on call with all the same duties you are stating....$40k plus insurance and expenses of course. Most recently I'm flying photo missions part 91 (300-400hrs/yr) ....$50k and full benefits package. Hope this helps and I live in the midwest. Tell them that you'll do "spot" washing as needed but that for full on wash, wax, and degreasing they need to pony up $300 every 3-4 months and have someone do it right. Good luck
