Fuel Surcharge Remain at $5/hr
As we reported in the May newsletter, we are adding a Fuel Surcharge onto our flying hours. Treasurer Joe McEvoy says that the surcharge will appear on your MANG statements as a separate line item. Based on current fuel prices, the Fuel Surcharge that will be applied for hours flown in the month of July remains at $5/hr. Therefore the total charge for flying hours will be:
Cessna and Warrior: |
$75 + $5 surcharge = $80 / hour |
Archer: |
$80 + $5 surcharge = $85 / hour |
Here are the statistics for May 2008:
