I appreciate the responses. I really had no idea what the going rate was for an untyped safety pilot. Just sounded like a spectacular deal considering the flexibility of the job, the amount of "work" I'm doing and the fact that I can still fly on furlough awaiting recall.
Does anyone have a baseline rate I should quote considering my experience? (5000 TT, 2600 CRJ, CFI CFII MEI) Do prices vary according to the trips? Would a four day trip to Mexico for example be priced differently than a single leg repo from Phoenix to Tucson?
