Guys read the entire thread, he is being paid to sit right seat. This isn't rocket science, hes not going to get $500/day for it. It would be nice to see that but I don't think that will ever happen. Lets say the average king air fo makes $40,000/yr. divide that by 200 days and thats $200 per day. Thats the point of contract people, its supposed to be more cost efficient than salary. If you work someone 200 days a year it would be better to just put them on salary. Now $125/day is low but I highly doubt these guys are qualified to fly left seat, like a 135 check ride or training at flight safety. The good news is he's being paid, hopefully what he's worth. There are plenty of kids with SJS who would do it for free or even worse pay to sit there.

Is this position for Ops specs, or insurance? I was paid $75/day for this position, but it was only insurance requirements. We are talking a Be20 here folks, not something that requires 2 people. Depending on where you're located, it probably could/should be more, but honestly and obviously it's not a long-term position.

Hey guys left me clarify a few things.
First off thanks for all of the replies.
I was questioning about sitting in the right seat on a king air 200. This would be for a part 135 operation that needs an SIC per their ops specs as well as insurance requirements.
Location is central Florida area.
Heres another question for you guys. This would be a part time position. I am looking to get out of the 121 world and into the 91/135 world. I am considering this but would need to make money on the side until I could find a full time position.
What have some of your part time guys done on the side? Since it is part time, daily rate, I would assume that all the trips would be preplanned trips and they would use a full time FO for pop ups. How else could a "part time" guy feed his family if he was on call and unable to work another part time job?

If you want to stay within the industry, I'd look into aircraft brokering, aviation insurance and maybe even instructing if you like it. The down side is the aviation industry sucks right now so no matter what you try it will be slow.
You said you're in central FL, have you look into flight safety or simcom? They like part time guys who can come and go when needed and I hear they pay pretty well.

$500 left seat, $300 right seat and I wouldn't accept a dime less. You may not be a required crew member in the eyes of the FAA, but if that airplane doesn't roll without two pilots upfront, you damn well better be compensated accordingly.
