Full-time to Freelance FO Advice
Hi
In an effort to regain some semblance of control over my own life, I am giving very serious consideration to quitting my full time job and doing some freelance work.
I have 2000TT with 1100+ on CL30 and I'm LPC'd till next September. All my training (Fire / first aid / CRM etc) is up to date.
Any advice in the following would be appreciated:
1 - I have been self-employed in another industry but I'm looking for any advice on avoiding any common pitfalls & pratfalls of being a freelance pilot.
2 - Some guidance on a sensible rate for RHS in a Challenger 300.
3 - Am I correct in assuming the client picks up the bill for airline positioning, HOTAC and per-diem
4 - For public transport, is it just a case of 1-2 flights with a company LTC to get OPC'd?
I think that covers my questions for now - thanks for any input.
