flying for money

He just got released from the fires in Montana last week. He gets $5000 per day to make the helicopter available and he gets $1900 per flying hour in addition to the $5K. The duty day is 14 hours of which you may fly 8 hours. He always flew within 5 minuites of 8 hours. Every 12 days they make you take 2 days off. He had his Huey up on the fire for 90 days. Out of that money you have to pay all your expenses. The Forest Service does pick up the insurance cost. What does operating a Huey cost per hour? Bell trains in them with I assume and instructor for $995/hour. http://www.bellhelicopter.com/en/tra...older=header_8 That piece specifies: "Requires customer's aircraft", so I take it that means the $995 is just the cost of the Bell school and the instructor, not the actual hourly direct and indirect costs. Opps I missed that. |
