float pay

[mr.aviation]

What is the going rate this summer for float pay in Ontario?
The salary's have gone up a crazy amount every year and just looking to see what people are paying this summer?
I know almost all give you housing and some do food as well but what should you expect on a:
DHC3-T /208?
DHC-2?
180/185/206?
CUB and other minnow planes?
Thanks

i second this question

People who are worth a damn get paid ok.

Given the insurance hike in the float world I would anticipate wages stagnating for a year or so on the bushier aircraft types.

Is the question being asked from an experienced or an inexperienced point of view??

10 years ago the guy making that money would have had 20k hours and a few moon landings.

I was making 3000 a month, flying C185 in Southern MB. I was also based in a reserve. First flying job. No health benefits. I was hired with 14 hours on floats.

Researching the current(not 10 yrs ago) market value of your services is part of doing business. So which point of view mentioned is the entitled one?

I'm not kidding. That's what I made back then. You know me personally enough to know that I have no reason. To lie to you. Times are changing (from circa 2010) what I wrote back on my last post is 100% truthful.

Who is old grey mare anyways? She or the notion seems antiquated!

thank you sir. i'm sure everyone appreciates. very useful.

let's hope this virus panic ends before it starts to affect the float season.

[mr.aviation]

Thank you all who answered. Hopefully this helps everyone starting out or getting on a new plane get a fair wage this summer. Hopefully the virus goes away before it shuts down the season.
