Well...

I would love to agree with you guys on what is reasonable and what is not.
Unfortunately, the reasonable has really nothing to do with the market today.

I would say, anything between 500 and 800 euros would be ok (ok, the 500 is a bit low...)

There are a lot of CRJ guys out there without employment, so the technical part of just flying could be fairly easily fulfilled.
Then comes the other part, the business aviation and dealing with "the other stuff".
With the right combination of type experience and business aviation experience you can end up in the higher end of scale.

2 years ago CL604 freelance captain's standard salary was 1000 euros / day.
Not anymore...

Again, please do not sell yourselves short, but also keep in mind the reality.

Let's hope the things will get better soon!
