Solowflyer, depends on what company your with and where your at. Speaking with mates up here they have done anywhere from 500hrs up to 800hrs a year in singles.
I managed a tick over 700.

GG, couldn't agree more with that. :ok:
Since the question was for driving a 210 or similar up north we should consider that the drivers can be either casual or fulltime. It's been a while since I sat down and worked out the break even point, but I seem to recall it was around 550hrs a year.
So, basically if your fulltime, try and fly less than 550hrs a year. Casual, try and fly more than that.
Happy to be corrected on those numbers. Maths never was a strong suit of mine.
Sorry about the drift, back to the scheduled programming.

Then if that's the case there's a couple of good opportunities around at about $10,000 an hour. Limited flying but how much do you want? AND it's in GA!!!!!

No comment about the hourly rate then? There are a privileged few in this country for a highly specialized flying job who get that money.

Ok cecil, il bite and have a stab.
Im thinking corporate. Jets. On standby for the CEO or any of the top board members for large multi-nationals. Say the wage is about 150k a year, you might only do 150 hours a year.
Whatever it is, I bet its not a second or third job. Unless your first gig was Military fast jet.

It's the other end of the GA spectrum to the high flyers.
