Was that for a left seat then? The numbers they gave me were equivelant to about $400 per day for the right seat in the 767. As it was contract there was no insurance, per diem was included and there were no other benefits like superannuation or medical/loss of licence. In todays environment I am not sure why anyone would take it other than for a short period. They called me, frankly, in a bit of a panic. I am fully typed on the 767/757, but have only flown as a dozer, which is something AirPac would rather stay away from, but which at this point they do not have a choice. It was nice of them to call me and I appreciate it, but I do not think they are being realistic with the times in which we live.

The more people turn these contracts down, the quicker the pay and benefits will go up to the point of being worth consideration.
