Phenom 100 contract pilot

[amt]

Just wondering if anyone has an idea of pay scale (Daily and Yearly rate) for Phenom 100 pilot.

Thanks

There are almost no pilots anywhere who can fly it.

I'd say if you have a type in it you can name your price.

I knew a guy early in the Eclipse program who was making $1000-1500/day. I imagine a Phenom driver could get the same for awhile until the pilot pipeline is ramped up.

Just saw it at sun and fun. Its pretty sweet.

Nice avionics and easy to use interior. Truly made for single pilot operations.

"Eleven. Exactly. One louder."

But why eleven? Why not just 10?

The Phenom's a fun, easy to fly jet. The Prodigy system (G1000 w/extras) make single-pilot ops easy. The hardest thing to learn about the jet was the avionics, but if you know how to work a Garmin 530/430 then you'll have no problem learning this system. All flight training is being done IN the jet, either at FTW or in Brazil, as the Sim still isn't certified.

Not sure why I can't edit, anyway, ETA training in the US is at AFW, not FTW.

Great.

Another piece of aluminum cholesterol floating around >FL300.
There ought to be a minimum M.75 speed above FL300.

How does it compare to the Mustang or CJ1?
