The one turning the auto pilot on and reading the sports page or the one hand flying the airplane to minimums in 40 knot gusts at an uncontrolled un plowed field in the middle of East Bum****** KS, NY, PA pick a state.
I agree its all BS. Frankly a guy flying a Aerostar single pilot IFR should be making $300/hr and the 747 guy with the 2 other crew members ought to be making the $200.00 a day.
my $.02
That's good; we'll all just start out flying 747s with hopes of one day getting the left seat of a 421.
I understand your comments but it's about the math. 747 guys pushes 100K+ in cargo/350+ Pax and 421 guys pushes 10K in cargo/4-6 Pax. But you're right the Aerostar pilot does have to put in his time in the ******er to get the "Big Bucks". LOL
I know you know this, so no bone.
