Low and slow in a cardinal 177. I would be just flying, there would be another person on board doing whatever they do.

Thanks
Charge what you think you are worth. If you think you are worth 60 a day plus the hotel and food then charge 60. I'd say 150 or more a day is not unreasonable. If you think in hours you will be working each day (8, 9, 10 etc.) and multiply what you make (or half of what you make or 2 times what you make or whatever) an hour at your current job that would give you an idea.

Bottom line, don't sell yourself short...charge what you think you are worth!

I would not go with the Hobbs time. Don't you wanna get paid for fueling the plane and the walk around and the times when you fly for an hour and then WX forces you down?

Also, then you can go as fast or slow as you want.

I may get a part time gig as a jump pilot. It's $100 a day and you only work from 800-1300. If I were you, I'd get $200 + a day. Especially since there are overnights.
