Legacy Contract flying

[LegacyDriver]

Just curious: Is that a documented procedure?

Nope. Neither is pulling a CB to reset a scrambled RMU or Pressurization Controller, but you do what you have to do sometimes to make the flight go out on time.

Does anyone really hire contract pilots as the Captain?

Yes. All the time. And they do it as cheaply as they can...

Thanks fellows!
I'M NOT being fourlough by any regional airline nor is trying to lower the bar when it comes to charging a fair daily rate. THAT'S WHY I'M ASKING publicly!
Thanks for the professional comments and I'm sorry for the ones with smart a$$ remarks.
Cheers

Pull a CB to pass gas?

I got offered $80,000 as PIC on a Legacy in Asia recently. I laughed.

But then, I have a job. Probably not a bad gig for an unemployed furloughed Legacy driver.

There are just too many EMB pilots out there. I don't even both applying for those jobs any more. Only came across this one as a call from a dude that was quitting there.

As Bad-Andy said, my how times have changed.

Same here. India. China. Russia. Dubai. All the same.

I don't even bother trying to get the jobs any more, either. The pay that is being offered is nowhere near the ballpark and it gets worse all the time. It's not worth the hassle. When they ask what I want I say $120K to start. When they are finished laughing I wish them a nice day and go back to reading on the couch. They don't call back.

I agree with Andy, too. My how times have changed.
