In need of a ferry pilot

[macfly]

If the deals goes through, I will need a pilot to fly a Beech A23A musketeer from KFRR - KCCO this week. Its about a 450 mile trip. I would love to fly it myself, but the cost of me going from Atlanta to Washington to pick up the plane is prolly more than a guy with jumpseat/pass privleges that does ferry work.

If anyone is interested feel free to PM me with your fees etc. I have seen quotes for 100/day plus expenses.

Happy 4th!

I think you will have to post this on the GPA

I would do it for you but I won't do it for 100 for the day. I instructed in the Musky and have probably 500 hrs in them. I also live in Atlanta.

I might have someone for you. PM me your contact details and let me know your insurance requirements.

I know someone who'd do it fo 200/day + expenses. They have non-rev privledges so hotel/ground transportation/and operating expense would be it. PM with insurance requirements.

I instruct out of CCO. I could do it but I don't have a decent way to get out there either. If none of the others work out for you swing on in to the FBO at CCO and we'll chat about it. I'm there all the time.

You can also give me a call. PM me for a phone number.

Have a safe 4th,
John Tinsley

No musketeer time but plenty of A-36 time. I have JS as well PM me

I have JS and NonRev privileges and I live in CCO. PM me if you still need someone.

450 miles can be done in one day!

I have about 50 in a muskateer. I've ferried quite a bit across the U.S. 150/day + expenses.

 

[PacoPollo]

Would do it for the flight time only. Dont worry about expenses.
PM.

I hope that you are not serious... if so good job on being another bottom feeding scum sucker who screws honest hard working ferry pilots out of much need work and money.

Thank You, I Myself and Other Ferry Pilots I Know Are Very, Very Hard Workers! I have been cheated out of many jobs from bottom feeding scum. Another thing is most the bottom feeders take way to long to deliver an airplane they just suck up the time and waste a lot of the customer’s money if they do it for expenses only...

I am looking to do some fun flying on my days off, PM me with the details! I can jumpseat!

I am an experienced professional pilot, so insurance requirements will not be a problem!

 

[corytx]

Alrighty then...

Now that we've gotten the usual forum thing out of the way... PM me if you acutally want to get this thing done. I know several people who would be willing to ferry your (hopefully) new baby. Let me know your insurance requirements?

 

[TrailerTrash]

Just my observation

Pay peanuts, get monkies.

Pay monkeys,get peanuts.

Kingair1181 and NW Pilot,
Interesting perspective from you folks trying to make a living as ferry pilots.

On the other hand, there's people like me who get paid in other parts of aviation and fly GA aircraft for recreation. I pay to fly GA and would certainly consider the opportunity to fly for free (and help a fellow owner/pilot) if my real job permitted. Taking a couple of days to fly a Musketeer or Sundowner (especially on someone else's dime) is my idea of a good time. I suspect you could find a hundred guys like me at www.beechaeroclub.org. In this case, only 450 miles and in the wrong part of the country, the 'cost' to me would be too high, even if expenses were paid. So someone else who likes to fly gets a free Mouse flight--not criminal, dishonest, or otherwise unethical in my book.

Good luck and fly safe . . .

I have an airline job that provides medical benefits for me and my family, world-wide travel, and covers my self employment taxes on my GA flying business. In a good month I make more than double at GA than flying pt 121. Be a professional pilot and charge for your skills and still have fun in that Sundowner. I just put a client into a 73' and we'll start his instrument training next week. I'll get $50/hr. to fly it to boot. Somebody need a ferry pilot? Local ferry with no overnight is $250-350/day plus any fees or expenses. Multi-day rates at $350-450/day includes lodging and meals. People will pay for a professional if you let them
