Beware the US$ rates

Rates are good if your life is US$ based.

A recent EU contract was 1200$ per day, about the max arround at the moment.

Long term Glf 5 contracts, ie 30 days or more are about 800$ capt 600$ FO, plus 100$ per diem. This is based on long term. Daily was 1500$.

There are exceptions:

For example IJM was offering a whole 600$ per day for a Glf5 Captain, plus 100$ per diem. Based in Moscow.

In general the rates are lowering in USA, due to ex Airline guys selling themselves, whilst in retirement.

In Europe, the rates are lowering slightly. There is a shortage of qualified crews, but the ability of an FAA licence to be validated by JAA states, does not help the situation.
