Very little of that work out there. Most of it handled in house. I'd shoot for $500 a day plus expenses.

will get you work but it is nothing compared to 800-1000 day rates plus expenses we used to get reliably in the early 90s!!

Don't sell yourself short.

These days, it all depends on how much you are willing to pay them per hour. Its a joke, but sadly...more truth than joke

Look into fixed wing ferry jobs,especially across the ocean jobs.The seats are removed and extra gas tanks are added.

Depends on what you are flying...

 

I remember the days when YOU paid for a ferry flight so you could get flight time.

 

FWIW, I start at $650/ day plus expenses.

it works a little differently these days.  Now you get the aircraft lined up, then advertise the 2nd seat as a "training" flight and make the poor schlub pay you for your time "instructing".

Not many ferry flights open to a outsider.  Were I an operator I want 'my' people to accept ot deliver an aircraft.  Insurance itself might be a problem otherwise.

are generally referred to as "employees". I would say the helicopter ferry business is pretty much nonexistant.
