Not by flight hour, it is basically salaried, you typically receive 40 units of pay for each week, 8 hours a day for the run that you do. The hourly rate multiplied by that, by 52 weeks would give you that annual pay.

Career question here. I'm at 950 TT mostly turbine, xc, sic. I have the mins for 135 IFR except the total and looking to build multi time to eventually move on to the airlines. I only have 6 multi engine from CMEL training:/. I'm tight for money and can't afford building multi on my own dime, plus the experience flying single pilot IFR would put some hair on my chest.
Would amflight consider me for a chieftain vfr capt , metro sic or bro sic ?
Should I wait to apply at 1200hrs?
Is thier a training contract involved , in which case I'd wanna come over sooner rather than later right ? If I plan to move on at 1500?
Thanks for the help

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but all the guys I talk to lately say they didn't sign a training contract.

We also do metro, 1900 and E120 SICs, but with only 6 hours multi you might have a tough time getting through training.
As other folks have said -- Go ahead and apply.

I am hoping for some help... I am thinking about applying in July for an F/O position. I have spoken with a recruiter already but was hoping to speak with a new F/O or someone relatively new in the company to get a real feel for what's going on instead of just what a recruiter is telling. If some one wouldn't mind PM'ing me I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

Outstation runs will generally start with the inbound leg on Monday evening and finish on the outbound leg either Friday or Saturday morning.

And then there are runs such as in SUS where you take off in the afternoon and fly a round robin to two or three cities and come back to SUS that night and never have a layover.
