Yea $200 a day your getting screwed, and ruining it for the people that make a living off contract flying.
I just went through about 8 different contract guys to fly with me while the other guy was out for a month. We keep everything the same $600 a day company covers all expenses. That does include airfare or rental cars to reposition guys or gals. I flew with typed guys that had more time in type than I had total time, to guys that I gave a 61.55 to. They all got payed the exact same!!!
This is on a CE560XL
