Oh yea, he wants the airplane cleaned, $200.00. He wants the airplane fueled, $50.00. Make him realize how much you are worth.
This is good business sense.

A lot of times pilots just don't have a good business sense. Especially guys working contract stuff.

I would also approach him about getting payment in cash. Gotta cover your bases.
