We get $2/hr as well, and on average I normally end up taking some home, particularly if I get a decent tip here and there.

At my old company, we had someone who would 'steal' half a loaf of bread from the hotel at breakfast, along with PB and J and eat like a 5 year old for the rest of the day. If he really wanted to splash out, he'd get a $5 footling, eat half for lunch and save the rest for dinner. I think I'd rather kill myself.

As long as the trip doesn't 'cost' me money, I'm generally happy.

All turbine aircraft operated under 91k must have 2 qualified crewmembers, and the PIC must hold an ATP. If the P180 was operated strictly 135, then only one pilot is needed with a commercial cert
