Where is the money at?

[donnybrook]

Have been meaning to post this question for a while. In your experience is the overall money better in intermediates or mediums? I have been flying mediums for the last few years but miss the AStar. I was always of the opinion that you could make more flying intermediates due to the greater number of hours flown and variety of jobs available.

Have noticed a lot of older guys go back to the Intermediate machines. 

I ask a good friend years ago why the timers do this.

His response was.

Back.... or ..... Brain

One will hurt the other will notice the customers are loading the small machines.

It depends on where they’re flying.  Mediums are much more a seasonal machine than intermediates (in Canada).  Intermediate twin work is looking to take up an increasing margin of single intermediate work in the coming years with customer requirements I think.
