hello all,
I am new to pprune so if I get it wrong , bear with me.
I am curious about the contract market for 737 work. I am currently a captain flying the little guy and have experience on the -200/-400/ -700/-800/-900. Who does it and what does it pay. I am weary of the domestic scene in the USA and want to move on... Thanks for the replies

Lots of NG work available. Contract work is available in India, China, Korea and the ME. Most terms are somewhat the same. Expect to make base pay around $8500 for 80hrs plus housing and overtime. Many contracts are 2 months on/2 months off.

Who Is Offering 2/2 And $8500?
Thought Spice Was 8/4.

I stand corrected, most are 10 weeks on/3 weeks off. However, my understanding is that based on need , you can negotiate other terms without much issue. However, at Spicejet, you are only paid while you are ON. The weeks off are unpaid, other than a $3000 travel allowance. $8500 is for a 80 hr month. Extra pay is at the same rate for anything over 80.
