Okay, let’s tackle this. So Mike Babler has 56 years of experience as a pilot, which is incredibly extensive. His experience in the Air Force and as a pilot for various airlines and corporations is highly valued. Program management skills are also in demand. Location is Malakoff, Texas, which is not a major hub, but still has a decent cost of living. Considering his experience, skills, and education, I estimate his hourly rate to be around $150, which is on the lower end for a pilot with his experience, but still reasonable given the location.
