The big question is would you be getting paid year round or just for the season and then you are on your own for the winter?

The next question are you really taking full responsibility (long days and responsibilities) or is it mostly filling a title and the owner has all the responsibilities?

Slight off topic,
Pilot with 600 hours on cessna 172 LAND , can he/she act as chief pilot representing an operation with an amphibian 172.

Just reading up on the CLASS and CATEGORY on transport.

If anyone has info that would be great.

Thanks

Chief Pilot and Ops Mgr and or PRM. $6K Minimum plus bonus. Even if only chief pilot. I wouldn't do it for less than $7 plus 1 month bonus. Plus accommodation and good tips.

But hey, you are a low time pilot asking this question so you will be happy to have "chief pilot 703" on your resume when you get that co-pilot gig on a ho next year.
