Usually what you negotiate...


US$1000 to US$3000 per month depending on contract and experience.

Hey Mungo haven't you heard about the 3 F's. If it ***'s,****'s or Floats rent it.
Now wonder you make yourself available for cheap labour.Do you know what a fitter and turner earn in Africa?

No I've no idea what a 'Fitter' or 'Turner' earns...or fits and turns for that matter...I'd rather be flying...and in any case I assume that you're talking about South Africa...where it's just been decided to dump the countries 'Eagle' emblem in favour of one depicting a condom which would appear to be more representative as it ... allows for inflation...halts production....destroys the next generation....protects a bunch of D*cks.....and gives you a sense of security while being screwed....

Usually companies will only pay when on tour,some do offer retainers whilst off but subject to tax. $3500 about average.(includes s&T)

Hours and experience taken into account.....

3500 to 4500$ ... for a F/O .... contract .... in Africa????
whew.... maybe the people coming up with these figures better come up with some names ...
as far as i now: between 500 and 1500$

please prove me wrong, because 4500$ is more likely what you should get, but hey, it's aviation and it Africa, isn't it

wonder what a captain makes

Crookes in Aviation

All contract pilots in Africa - beware...
If you are ever offered work from one of the following individuals, stay well away...
T M (RJM Aviation - N'Djamena, Chad)
R L (Continental Aviation, and a host of other paper companies - SA)
P H (As above)

These guys are crookes. They hire pilots for long contracts in Africa. Send you away without a float, S&T or engineer. When you return they dissappear, failing to pay the outstanding monies owing. If you try to collect, they threaten to put a bullet in your head.

DO NOT be caught out. I was and worked for free for 3 months.
