Maybe it's contract work? Flat rate regardless of weight? I have no idea, just guessing. |
Or maybe the customer is paying to have their work moved quickly.

Often times an entire aircraft is chartered for one tiny box, any extra work is just pure profit. Othere runs are indeed running crazy thin. Most of those are still flat rate, but probably won't be around much longer unless new work can be added to supplement income. Don't judge the profitablity of a run entirely on weight though. Some of the heaviest runs sometimes get canceled while others run with almost nothing for years. You just never know.

I've heard our bank customers have contracts that pay whether theres 1 lb., or 500 lbs. I dont know what the agreement is with some of our express customers.

Back to the incentives
So for any airnet flyer out there: around what does a typical lear PIC with around 7-8 years on property average? Just asking just in case one were to find themselves there for a long while. |

If you got hired today and somehow made to Lear PIC in three years and then stayed here for another 4 years your yearly minimum pay would be about 59K. I'd say you could probably tag another (average) 5-8K to that in "overtime". Unfortunately our pay structure (and I use the term loosely) here at AirNet isn't very good and not an incentive to stay for more than it takes you to build 1000 hours of Lear PIC time and then leave. |
