$20 per flying hour before tax, pilots average 40 hours a month, and are expected in the office 5 days 8.30 to 5.
Thats if you fly the Single engine scenics out to White Island, I think the pay for the Herald run (NZRO-NZGS on PA34 II) is still $25/day. Start 3 or 4am finish about 10 or 11am. The company is based in Whakatane, where office work is required but the Herald run starts in NZRO where the plane is based, so you'll have to get up earlier, drive 45mins-1hr to RO, fly your 2 sector day then drive yourself back to Whakatane for the grand sum of $25. Don't forget to take tax out of that when you are working out if you can afford to live like that.
With today's petrol prices you will be paying about $7-8/day out of you own pocket to fly for them on the Herald run.
Good Luck!
