The case for using contractors
At AB Aviation Services LLC, we strive to provide quality, safe, well-trained pilots to operations interested in maximizing profit and cash flow while retaining flexibility in staffing and scheduling to keep your aircraft flying.
Considerations:
Four weeks of pilots being unavailable for work due to two(2) weeks of training per year plus two(2) weeks of vacation per year at $1442.31/week for a total of $5769.23
Consider $116,033 /$700 = 165.76 days of my contract services on a Lear 45, and 154.71 days on a Lear 60. Yet when I am not contracted to fly, you incur zero expense, allowing your company to optimize staffing on a daily basis. Thus maximizing utilization, flexibility and cash flow for your company, and management clients.
