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.

Dear o dear

The aim of the game Ladies and Gents is to fly as little as possible for as much money as you can.

GG, couldn't agree more with that.

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.
