treetopflyer Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 Hey amodao, My last years contract rate for lights and intermediates only was. $150 a day $55 an hour $42 a day - Meals $3? Away From Base $3 a day phone Worked out all-right. Definitely want more this year. Everything I bought this year got more expensive so I should too. Interested to see what other guys are getting. ttf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All with an average of 2.5 to 3 hrs/day minimums. Prime season from April to Oct. Per Diems as per company.......again, this is only an average......

Reddog Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 Amodao, I don't know if it will be helpful but at least for comparison purposes a "top of the pay scale" line pilot (15+ years experience) at CHC Global with no add-on's will pull down $79K Cdn on an even time tour schedule.

Jet B Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 I think the payscale tops at 4000 hours, I don't know what the numbers are below that. full time with benefits: 3500 salary which is supposed to go up every year to top at 4000 after 4 years. (they did this to try and give incentive to stick around). regular light and intermediate: $50/hour seismic light and intermediate: $65/hour Ski pilots are on a straight day rate. Contract rates: $215.00/day and the same hourly rates as full time. No benefits. per diem is $38.00/day rotation works out to 4 weeks on 2weeks off with some flexibilty, if you go over 240 days in a year they will pay you out the contracter day rate or give you time off. If you have any questions please pm me or just post here. I really believe we should be communicating with each other about pay in our industry. It is my opinion that Canadian heli pilots are overworked and under paid for the amount of skill and dedication required to do our jobs safely.

treetopflyer Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 Just talked to a buddy and turns out I'm draggin down the curve. He was getting 250 a day and 60 an hour doing the same work I was with the same company. Me thinks I'm getting a raise one way or another. ttf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
