working for 1000 a month and 4 cents a rev mile just curious if other folks would suffer like this all for hrs

No. I think some day you will regret being used like that.
You might be able to make more from the change that falls out of passengers pockets into the seats. Seriously.

Ouch....

I thought I had it bad. Thanks buddy! Mind you I ain't getting a whole helluva lot more

thanks its nice to get that second opinion from fellow aviators why do we take this guff and they say crack is tough to quit try this sport

15 years ago, I was paid 2k base, plus .08$ amile.

Northern guy:

Would you mind sharing the name of that company?

Greetings

In '06, my 206 pay was $25/hour for flight time and holding, no base pay. It wasn't busy so I didn't make much, but it was still better than a grand a month. I think you're getting hosed, my friend.

No,because if i did that it would open a can of worms
either for self or them loose lips sink ships

Would you mind sharing the name of your company?

Sabourin in Red Lake paid 1200 base, and 16 cents a mile on the Cessnas, with 13000 miles a month being my average. The job came with a company house.

In 1985.

9 years ago in CYFS (east end) I got 1200 month and .12 mile and full housing and year round employment.

4 years ago, I was paid $110 a day & $0.29 a mile. Worked out to just over $5000 a month. Paid my own room & board.

You are contributing to the problem if you fly for starvation wages that way. .04 per SM and only REV miles??.. Thats just wrong! Since others are sharing their first job wages.. I started on a C-206 on floats in 1995 and got 500$ base & .26 cents a mile (Rev or ferry legs). You are being grossly UNDER paid my friend. Whether or not its "worth it" for the hours or not is your moral dilemma. I wouldnt have been able to afford it.. Maybe you are in a different boat?. Either way, your wages are crap and should be outlawed!

Fly safe all.

PS.. My first month I took home 1822.60$ (Yes, I still kept the receipt) and flew my a$$ off for it!

Yes,I agree thats why i told them to shove it hard

In 1979 I started on a C-185 at $750 per month plus .06 per mile and the company paid my room at the local motel for the summer. That was .06 for all miles flown!

I was PAYING $200/hr to rent a 210 at the last club I was a member at.

I had an all caps rant all ready to submit.

But I like to try and be civilized.

Please post the name of this outfit. I would like to characterize it as kind of a civic duty. The wage you are describing is simply unacceptable. Please do everyone the favour of exposing this asshat to all the derision and venom our community can muster. And give a little warning to the next poor sucker who wanders through the door there.

$2500 a month. period. rent extra. last year.
good luck paying your bills with your credit card on those wages there Northern. i wish you the best of luck.

You are right, loose lips sink ships. So the company either folds, or offers an aceptable wage. Either way, it benefits the industry.

Hmmm... how about all you starving pilots post your wages in the flight training section a little heads up for all the future 200hr wonders with a sparkle in their eyes.

My Guess is Sandy Lake Seaplanes! Thats what they paid a few years ago and you got to work a 16hr day 30days a month! Enjoy the chips and Pop!

No,not SLSP sorry, ill never tell just ensure you have pay and stuff figured before you sign up for the program good pilots are always learning right tough lessons learned go a long ways eh!

Shinnyside;

I worked for SLSS a couple of years ago, and you are way off on their pay. Not only was the salary much higher than that but nearly everything was looked after while there. You weren't going to get rich working there, but it was certainly a great place to work, an even better place for a low timer, and if I got laid off of my current job I would go back in a heart beat.

Maybe, before you comment next time, you should think about whether or not you have a clue as to what you are commenting on.

Good luck developing informed opinions.

PnC

Well, it doesn't matter, 'cause he said he didn't take the job. That's the way you guys hope this will work, no? Good for him.

so anyways lookin for a job lol
