Guest pokey Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 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 ! Quote
palmfish Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 (edited) $600/week buys a lot of Top Ramen and peanut butter sandwiches... Is this really what new R22 pilots are earning?!?! Edited February 27, 2008 by palmfish Quote
helopilot2be Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 A salary of $600 per week will be paid against $30 per hob hour.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? Chris Quote
fry Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 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? Chris If its subtract, 33 weeks at $600 = $19,800 less 600 hobbs hours at $30 $18,000 = $1,800 net. Quote

Is this really what new R22 pilots are earning?!?! ramen noodles & peanut butter samiches arent just for breakfast any more ! thanks for the dinner idea ! they are even better w/hot peppers Quote
Node Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 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 Quote
DEMO Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 $600/week buys a lot of Top Ramen and peanut butter sandwiches... Is this really what new R22 pilots are earning?!?! Maybe they ment, you pay them 600/wk Quote
avbug Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 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. Quote
bqmassey Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 six hundred dollars a month is only 5,400 dollars. per week. Quote
