Contract Flying?

Just wondering if there were any websites that offer contract flying job openings?

Another influencer must have dropped a “I get paid $5000 a day to do this” and now everyone wants to be a contract pilot.

$5,000 a day is pretty good pay… Reality kicks in pretty quickly… That is if they have to pay for your CFR 61.58 recurrent for a light jet. Now, if you are a contract pilot on a G650 type, let say… they’ve got to get a lot of days to cover the nut of that recurrent training. Let’s not forget the taxes as a 1099 employee too.
