How This Rate is Calculated

Okay, let’s tackle this. So Craig has a unique blend of military and civilian experience, with 21 years in the Air Force and various Part 135 and Corporate Pilot roles. His education from the US Air Force Academy adds prestige. Skills like piloting, leadership, and management are in demand. Location is Abilene, TX, which is not a major hub but still has a significant aviation presence. Considering his extensive experience, especially in the military, and his roles in Part 135 and Corporate aviation, I’d estimate his hourly rate to be around $150-$250. This is slightly lower than what you’d expect for a highly experienced pilot in a major hub, but his unique blend of skills and experience make him a valuable asset in smaller markets or for specific clients.
