Pilot who has min 10 yrs or 6000hrs of experience in flying Robinson R44 and can also work as an accountable manager in an aviation firm in India. He should have enough experience in flying R44 for chartering , agricultural spraying and for aerial filming/ photography. I like to know the salary for the above mentioned post. thank you.

Thank you for replying to my thread.
Dear Ragesh Raghavan,
I think it will be very difficult to find a pilot with 10 years exp or 6000 hr ready to move to India to fly a R44. Pilots with that experience are looking for another kind of jobs (maybe on turbine helicopters).
I also think that you don't need a pilot with 6000 hr to fly a R44. It's a simple helicopter. I think a pilot with 1000 hours of which 100 on R44 would be enough. In this case I think a salary of 4000-5000$ per month would be ok.
Happy Landings

as far as i know the standard for a touring pilot is around $10k a month tax paid, and I have heard about some positions paying $12k, but I havent heard of any paying $20k, please can you give me some idea where these jobs are so I can apply immediately?
