Lear Job for $40/Day!!!

[PA31Ho]

Yes... that's right.. not going to mention the company, but it was somebody that I was trying to get on with until I heard about the pay. I mean, $40/day, is that even legal? They send you to school for SIC Initial, which is I guess their reasoning for giving you such crapy pay.... not a very good reason if you ask me. Anyway, just had to vent a little.

I remember flying freight in the LR20 series for $150/day, and I thought I was rich. $40 is ridiculous in today's economy (or any economy for that matter) and it goes right along with the "still practiced" companies having you pay for flight time (jet ops too). They're still out there...BEWARE!

maybe if it's spending 4 hours a day fueling lears but that's gotta be a joke otherwise.

 

[PA31Ho]

no joke

You're doing all of us a disservice by not letting us all know who these scumbags are. Tell us so we can open up on them!

 

[PA31Ho]

well i guess it doesn't matter really huh... it's Chipola Aviation in Panama City, FL

Some meathead desperate for hours will take it. Unfortunately, operators like this always find someone.

yep! and they give those good jobs away from the guys who actually need a salary.

i went to the interview, went well... was told that I was #1 on the list, and they will call me for a class date, although they didn't mention when. salary was supposed to be $24k (so I thought)....

We get $40/day for meals!

Hell I would do it for free just to build the flight time!!!

Hence lies the problem with pay for pilots and Flight Instructors. There is always someone willing to do what it takes to build flight time.

Me.

I have read alot of Shamus's posting...He was VERY much kidding. You are right though, there are alot of pilots out there willing to "whore" themselves out. Shamus is not one of them.

Stealthh

 

[Stealthh21]

Know what I mean?

 

[Say Again Over]

Is that for flying it or washing it? :uzi:

 

[WMUSIGPI]

Hell I wouldn't even wash it for that. That should be at least a couple hundred for a basic hosedown, no waxing or degreasing involved.
