Hi all,
I just got typed in a Hawker, and will be flying the 800xp/900xp for a fractional company. Once I get some time in the airplane I would like to see iff I could get into doing some contract flying on some of my days off.
1) Will this be realistic since I will be fairly low-time in the Hawker. However, I do have a type rating in the aircraft.
2) Any suggestions on how to start? (i.e. whether to just visit the fbo's, send resume's, etc.) I live in the DFW area.
3) What is the going rate for a type-rated Hawker pilot? (I will fly in either seat that they want me in)
I have never done contract flying such as this, so I thought I would seek some advice from those of you with the experience. Thanks for the input in advance.
