We used to operate our G V as a private N operation but now are on a managed commercial JAA AOC. Part time crew has different qualities and depends cosat wise whether they are trained by you or do it direct at FSI or CAE. Salaries? Getting better and better from a pilots perspectice as the market is heating up. For an Excel guy roughly 500euro per day ex expenses.
We used to pay a fixed management fee per month for the AOC and do everything ourselves, maintenance, planning etc and pay only a paperwork fee. This means that we had the burden of a full management and a seperate AOC charge. As we are a vendor to a third party for their back up we have changed all that so it is easier to see who is responsible. The first set up was easier (cheaper) but the second is better as the postholder has real control..
what are you thinking of?
