If you're looking for a Calgary to Toronto ferry pilot...

If you just happened to be looking for a ferry pilot to bring your newly purchased plane from, say Calgary to the GTA, and you don't happen to be getting much traction, you could try being less of a cheapskate and offer a bit more than $30/hr. Just saying.

Oh, and spending all day waiting out weather for three days with you in Brandon, Manitoba for $100/day? Really, dude?

I do hope, although you don't say, you're paying up for decent accomdation, meals and transport for evening entertainment too. Plus the airfare out there.

One more thing: just because you're occupying the seat next to an instructor doesn't make the flight a lesson.

The first 20 hours of flight training don't include anywhere a cross country trip across the nation. In fact they include almost no "flying in a straight line for hours on end" at all. Any instructor who signs a student off with time in a pilot training record for this kind of jolly who doesn't even have a student pilot permit yet and hasn't done a single minute of solo flight is committing a fraud on the student and the profession.

Well said.

He might get lucky and find some freshly minted CPL looking for hours, but otherwise might have to cough up a bit more! I'd want daily minimums at more like $250.

You know, it's a common logical fallacy at play here:

All holders of a PPL have at least 45 hours of flight time in their logbook

I have at least 45 hours of flight time in my logbook

Therefore I hold a PPL.
