CaptainProp, I thnk not, I know of a couple of operators that offer LPC/OPC in the aircraft with a examiner but none that offer sim based training to a freelancer. And I agree with your estimate on what salaries should be but I have also heard of offers being made lower, who mentioned £60K? Maybe you should read my post again.

It depends a lot on the breakdown, insurance, housing etc. £90000 here, but also nice house, company car and paid petrol, per diems in addition. But not a rotational position. Good if family and friends can visit, but limited chances to go away.
It seems that many in ME are going over to the "no rotation, live here" arrangement as well, but they are having a hard time getting people.
Was offered 8 on, 4 off and same salary, but refused.
Good luck. €60,000 for a good captain is what I got on a C550 in 2007........

Hey again guys. Deal hammered out verbally last week. £8k per month, €110 per day perdiem with loss of licence, travel insurance and BUPA. I think that's a fair package. Any thoughts?

@ RR- I think that's a fair/good deal! What sort of roster are you working?
@ FTG - They are high on some types because there are less / few experienced pilots around and willing to change company then on other types. Sometimes it has nothing to do with type / cost of type / rated pilots available etc but simply that the company Principal has found a crew that he/she likes and wants to pay them well for the job they do.
"Getting away from the 757 to where the money's at" is not that easy. There are quite a few very experienced corporate pilots still around without jobs and they will "always" be ahead in the line for the good bizjet jobs.... At the moment I would say - If you have a job, hang on to it until things get a bit more stable with world economies, Middle East etc etc. Changing job always comes with some risks and I personally would not do that right now, not for another 1K a month or whatever at least.....
Good luck!

Hi again.
That time is once again upon me.
Latest pay review offers €10,000 a month, plus €115 a day DMA for 180 days contracted per year, LHS.
How does that stack up against the average for a busy CL605 doing 600 hours a year charter in Europe?
Cheers
