Lear 31A F/O Needed

[Storm Chaser]

Well just to set the record straight there Spark.....69 K is almost 70k plus my company paid for all my transportation, provided me with a cell phone that I could call international and they footed the bill. Granted it was a company based in the states and that is why I had to pay taxes, but then again if you added in my private driver and cell phone...I would think that adds up to just about 70k if not more (TO FLY A CESSNA 340). Oh yeah....no contract either.

I dont want to waste my time and get into a argument here. I just think your requirments are a little high for what you have to do and where you have to do it.

i guess you have to ask yourself.. is making "100k" to yank the gear up on a 31a worth living in an area of current conflict that is not the friendliest to americans, sweating your ass off away from what most of us would consider civilization... ??

I guess what we were saying is that with those minimums you are competitive to fly a lear 31a as PIC in the US and probably make around 65-80k a year, while visiting your local bar on the weekends and not having to worry about being kidnapped and shipped to iraq for your scheduled be-hedding.

Just a thought!

I would do it for 100k.

Yeah, but could you have endured staying in Hinduland for a year to make that much money if it was year round flying?

the toughest part of my day is trying to wake up the wifey, so that she can mount the "fifty" and lay down some covering fire long enough for me to get the car started and go to work!

Maroone!!

OH!! AHA! Another fly-in-the-ointment! We have to buy our OWN AMMO!

Hey, if you're a little bit older and have "been down that road before", then that's fine. That's one of the reasons that we're looking for a younger guy. If somebody has a pretty good amount of total time but not enough to upgrade, then it might fit their needs for making some quick cash.

I can sit here and add up all the little perks as well; They give every company executive ("executives" also includes us nosepickin' pilots) a lap-top the first day we step in the door. We also get "the phone deal." We also get perdiem (I just spent three nights in Nice,FR at $167/day). There's also an annual bonus.
The bottom line is; you can sit there and believe everything that you watch on CNN or FOX, or you can "take a chance", make some quick cash and just call it quits when you've had enough.
Contrary to what the US news might have you believe, the "entire Middle East" isn't in a state of chaos. On that same note, how often do you hear of terrorist acts being committed in Kuwait?

I did the Kuwait thing for a wealthy family back in the early 90's after the first Gulf war. It's not bad, their is an underground network of ex-pats that make it fun. Their are plently of woman from eastern Europe or from Egypt, Jordan, yada yada. None of whom interest the locals, all very interested in Americans. If you are married, forget it.

My deal was cash. I also had them give me a company Amex(they actually offered). They paid for the hotel, at the time the SAS and the Holiday Inn Crown Plaza were the two places that they had to keep me at, both very nice. They also paid for meals and dry cleaning.

I would think twice about any job that requires me getting my own place to live.
