we arent so much charter, more airwork, but on a good month 120, but a quiet month 90-100. The important thing is to look at the $$$ not the hours. I notice a lot of people tell me "the pay isnt very good but we do lots of hours." Which to me sounds worse than low pay and low hours. Compare it to driving a concrete truck for example. If you were getting less money to do lots of truck driving at one company, and an opposition company offered you twice the money for half the hours, you'd go there wouldnt you?
I know what you will all say....you go to the most houred job so you can get out of there sooner and move up to a higher paying job with bigger planes. From what any airline pilot on the 'bigger planes' have told me, they had much more enjoyment flying their smaller planes, so to me it sounds like the less hours, the more pay, in the smaller planes is the way to go. Just a thought....
