TBH the ACMI guys flying ACMI hvy iron in and out of KBL are probably some of the lowest paid pilots flying in there. Going rate for the contractors flying through King Airs' etc out of there is 1000-1400+ day.

You also aren’t staying there for months on end. Life isn’t that rosy as a contractor. There’s a reason 99% of contractors go to heavy carriers, and not the other way around.

As a matter of fact the average rates have dropped in the last couple years because companies are now hiring SICs with a wet multiengine commercial at 450-500 per day to fill seats. Part of the reason I left.
They used to not even look at you until you had 2000+ hours and either some king air or military tactical time.

Sorry if it was that much I might not have left. Those might be “surge” rates to cover low manning but it’s not the norm. When I left last year as one of the more senior instructors at one of the higher paying companies, I was under 1000 per day.
