Any idea what I should expect for a salary if the job is offered?
Hey PM me if the a/c is in Seattle. If its the same one I know of I have some information that you would probably like to have while you are considering the position. If they want you to do maintenance on the aircraft (particularly if you are to be the primary wrench for the plane) then you need to compensated accordingly. Contract maint. up here goes for about $100 an hour so you do the math if you have to do all the preflight sign offs and post flight checks to put the a/c to bed.
The fact that you have no jet time really shouldnt have much bearing on you flying the plane with the amount of time you have. The insurance probably requires you to be typed and have 100 plus hours before you can fly as "captain" and it sounds like they have another qualified captain to fly with you so all you have to do is make it through training and you should be golden.
