CrewBlast, the app that matches operators with contract pilots and flight attendants, has begun posting monthly data on requested daily wage rates. Derived from more than 150 responses for crews, the data includes rates for domestic and international pilots in command (PIC) and seconds in command (SIC), along with flight attendants. This information further is classified by aircraft type.

A daily PIC rate can range from $700 for a domestic operation involving a Beechcraft King Air 200 to $4,000 for a Gulfstream G600. Rates for flight attendants range from $500 to $850 per day.

Release of the wage data follows CrewBlast’s report on staffing requests involving aircraft types. The firm found that it drew the most requests in December for crewmembers for the Gulfstream G500, Dassault Falcon 7X, Bombardier Challenger 605, Cessna Citation XLS, and Gulfstream IV.

Launched late last year, the app sends a “blast” to registered crew of operators in need of contract staffing. Qualified crewmembers will receive a push notification on their mobile devices, enabling them to respond immediately.
