I had this crazy idea years ago (many) (years NOT ideas) ( well many crazy ideas years ago too) to do this same thing-----film alot of cities/shots all across the country & then sell them to the movie business. If this isnt what was in mind? Then i just gave some one an idea ! Go for it !

$600/week buys a lot of Top Ramen and peanut butter sandwiches... :unsure:

 

Is this really what new R22 pilots are earning?!?!

What does that mean? Does that mean they add $30 per flight hour on the hobbs or they subtract $30 per flight hour on the hobbs?

If its subtract, 33 weeks at $600 = $19,800 less 600 hobbs hours at $30 $18,000 = $1,800 net.

what they are saying is $30 per hob unless you fly less the 20 hobs per week, the you get the minumum of $600 per week

Six hundred is a minimum base, or the gaurantee. If the job runs for nine months as stated at the beginning of the thread, then six hundred dollars a month is only 5,400 dollars. Thirty dollars per flight hour at 700 hours is twenty one thousand, for the same time period. If you only fly 20 hours then you break even at the six hundred dollar mark. Once you go over that, you're getting an additional 30 dollars for every hour you fly. A lot of companies, including all the airlines, do this same thing.
