WOW!

Thats kind of low. Last year flying for Sundance Air Inc. I made either $550/week or $660/week depending on the run.

I almost went to work for those guys back when they were Texas Air Charter... Glad I didn't though.

PA31-350 PIC PAY

in 97-98 I was paid 20,000/year then 25,000/year after after I got my ATP as a PA31-350 PIC. This was in the North East US for a 135 charter/freight company. PAX trips were 2 pilot and cargo and 91 flying was single pilot. I was hired there as a pic. The king Air guys got 30-35 grand per year.

20000/year=1666.67/month and 25000/year=2083.33/month

We were paid $15 per trip for food of which they took taxes out of so about $11.25 per trip for food.

Sked was 5 on (pager), 2 off.

Hope this helps

At Ameriflight, I made around $2000/mo flying a PA-31-350 as PIC. This was back in 2000. I think they got pay raises recently though.
