I'm under paid and under sexed. I work 24/7 and get a miserable hourly rate for flying when taking to account the hours I work on other duties within the company.
I believe that for every hour I fly I do 26 hours of other duties therefore for 27 hours of work I get an hours flying pay. $50,000 plus benefits of about $10,000 and do about 280 hours a year. This now says that I actually work 280 x 27 = 7560. $60,000/7560 = $7.9 per hour. And those who know how many hours there are in a year will know why I am under paid and worringly undersexed!

Pay
"The whole concept of "What do you cost your employer per hour" makes no sense at all."
This is not a good way to look at it. If you know what it costs to employ you, you also know how much you can ask for pay. If the helo gets paid by the hour then figure it out that way. If it is on a 3 hour a day minimum then it is easier to figure. The employer only has one way to figure pay- It is how much it costs to place a person there.
It is the employers job to keep costs as low as possible to operate. My boss has fixed costs of slightly over $4000 per day, every day, all year(very small company). Then there are costs that change per flight hour.
Your job is to get the most for your services.If you don't understand what it costs to employ you then you can not figure ways to increase you value to employer. So along with figuring cost per hour figure value per hour as well. Most of you (reading your posts) have placed a very low value on what you give the employer.

Toss in this little factor. "Standby Time". I have heard the company tell the customer its"Pilot Standby" time and its like another $250.
As a Tour Toad that cuts out your tip for sure if they think your getting "Standby" Pay. I certainly make sure the customer finds out thats Bull
and its "Aircraft Standby" which is sometimes reasonable based on the unavailability of the aircraft.
