That's not really how it's supposed to work though. A contractor has to pay for his own recurrent so one should add that to the formula along with self-employment tax; own healthcare; etc; etc; etc
$2500-3000/day for a G650 where I am. That is easily the highest paying airframe. A G550 would be more in the $1500-1800 range. BBJ can go low domestically because of all the typed guys willing to fly in the USA, but still above $1000/day. International it is $1500+/day.

You must not be feeling the shortage, yet.

My day rates
I make my living in Texas as a contract pilot. Currently, I fly a PC12 locally for 500/day. There is one about 2 hours from here that I charge 750/day. A local King Air I fly is 500/day, but the ones I drive 2 hours to fly are either 600, 700 or 750/day, depending on the negotiation. I do FO duty on a Lear 45 for 750/day. I may start managing two Citation 2's for a monthly fee plus 700/day. I normally fly 12 to 15 trips per month, There is good money in contract flying, depending on where you live and one of the King Air's I fly may turn into a full time job soon. They also operate a Phenom and have an option for a Latitude.
Certainly not on the level of you heavy jet guys, but I'm doing pretty good, and it's nice to be your own boss.

Hi,
Quick question. Do they pay you while you are waiting at the hotel ? or is ONLY every time you fly the plane - Thank you
