I noticed on the AFAP website a particular company is offering Pilots to pay for ICUS in their PA31s
$120 per hour day or night. They should be paying Pilots $120 per hour to fly a PA31 for them.
The race to the bottom continues.
Don't people understand that you get the required minima to fly a particular aircraft with an operator when you do your line training/ICUS? A good operator will spend 50 hours doing ICUS with the right Pilot for the job to get them up to insurance/contractual minima.
If this continues and is accepted by our industry, the right seat in an airliner will be soon for sale with a price tag on 500 hours P2 time in a 737 to get a crack at the middle eastern carriers.
