What are the advantages/ disadvantages of being a contract pilot? Discuss.
Hi there,
Title is self explanatory really. Ive heard that being a contract pilot, particularly a captain can have some advantages, eg. better pay? Ability to pick and choose when and where you work? How much more would a contract pilot be able to earn over a non contract one on the same ac type?
To what extent is this the case? Are there pilots out there who make a living as "flying mercaneries", picking and choosing contracts as they please.
What are the disadvantages of working contracts.
Thanks for any replies.
