Default Challenger type

Trying to get some feed back about a CL-604 type. I have a opportunity for a FO position and am wondering if this is a good type to have, will be PIC typed although flying only about 150 hours a year. Currently flying 400-500 a year now in Beech Jet.

Your allowed to side work to supplement income as first year pay is low, second and third is equal to 2014 pro pilot survey.

How much of a demand is out there for contract work in the CL-604 and the Beech jet ? What is daily FO rate for CL-604 ?

Been trying get on with good fractional but nothing so this might be a better gig anyway with much easier schedule. .....thoughts ? Good career move ? Thanks

Do the online 605 differences course and you about 550 planes in service. Fairish amount of contract work at $1200 per day.

Our 601/04/05 pilots have the opportunity for plenty of contract work and turn down a fair amount. If I were to use their experiences as a gauge of the work available I'd say there is plenty.

I will definitely check out the site, maybe pick up some work in BE-400 too. Have the face to face interview this week.

Galaxy thanks for the heads up on the differences training on line.
