Sebas Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 FLCFI,Do you realise that the money have you spent and the experience you have acquired make you a professional pilot?Why are you offering to pay for a service that you earned the right to charge for?An offer like this lowers the standard for those that make a living off ferry flights. I do not doubt your skills, ferry flights can be demanding, but I do doubt that you have thought this through. Robinson's are coming off the line constantly and there are lines and lines of owners that need a pilot to fly one away with them, those pilots should not provide this service for free.Your email address suggests you are a CFI, do you pay people to take your instruction as well? My flight review is due soon, if you pay me $200 I'll let you sign me off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLCFI Posted November 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 I have several clients that want to do ferry flights and im simply brokering the deal for them. I'll still be on the flight and be getting paid. If you want to get ahead in this industry you need to think outside the box....

BOATFIXERGUY Posted October 7, 2007 Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 Some people love to fly, but do not want to fly commercially for a living. No problem with that! Sounds like cheap flying to me. Can't even rent a 172 for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am an experienced pilot (700tt) with 2 ferry flights under my belt(1 throught the carribean and 1 out of the factory). I love the adventure!! Please email me if yiu are interested and we can see if we can make a deal.Pearsoncfi@yahoo.comanyI am selling R-22 time for $99 an hour plus gas for anyone who is interested. Contact me for details. I am also a timebuilder and will have my CFI and my own helcopter in December. No hidden work. No photo work. You fly where and when you want, as little or as much as you want. The only hitch is that I'm there with you. This will be in South Florida for the winter and in Cleveland, ohio for the summer.

Please email me if yiu are interested and we can see if we can make a deal.Pearsoncfi@yahoo.comYeah I agree. Everytime I have to take a helicopter someplace I try and put in one of my newly rated pilots to build time for there commercial but if it is a long haul I cut them a deal on flight time. If its from the factory they pay enough to cover the expenses of the helicopter, my expenses plus there own expenses. This saves the new owner since they don't have to cover fuel/oil cost or my fee. The person building the hours paying the rate covers it. Don't sell yourself out. Someone should be paying you. Unless you are saying your time isn't worth anything?

You should not accept less than $500 a day plus expenses for a ferry, delivery or demonstration flight. Rates are $1,000 to $1,500 for overseas or hazardous duty. So get real and stop trying to be the Wal-Mart of the helicopter (Commercial Aviation) world. Edited February 29, 2008 by 67november Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
