YOU are the one asking for the free handout.
Asking a young fella to pay for YOUR fuel costs to ferry YOUR new aircraft to YOUR base?
I am sure you will get a taker, but please don't dress it up as though you are doing anyone (except yourself) a favour.
That you have paid for the whole cost yourself the last 2 -
GOOD.
Why the policy change?
Is it simply that you think times have chaned and you can screw harder?
Assuming we accept your estimate of 15 hours
...if you employ a commercial pilot to do this flight you owe him 15 x $67.95 = $1019 gross, + 9% Super.
Meal allowances under the award = $101.25
IF he is willing to forgo the wages due to him in exchange for the opportunity, that's one thing.
Asking him to pay for the fuel as well?
