Charter Pay

Does anyone know where I can get a pilot salary survey? I was hoping to find a free copy (that's the pilot in me). Also, is there a online salary suvey? Thanks.

"Professional Pilot" magazine publishes a salary survey every year. I think its the April issue...or is it June? I can't remember. I never got it. But i scammed someones old copy last year....or is it a 2001 issue...ahh either way, call up Pro pilot and get an issue from them. It's traditionally high so if you look at ths scales and look at the low value for that position, then you will see the most common pay. People routinely send in inflated responses to get the total average up high on that report so they can go barter for more pay. scheemy

Do you get Pro Pilot Magazine at any book store? Barnes and Noble?

nope.
internal industry type of publication...

like your local car repair place might their monthly edition of "Oil changer journal" or something.

www.propilotmag.com

its free if youre in the industry already. just convince them youre a professional pilot working as such and youll get one for free. look around your local FBO's for copies. I was bequeathed my copies from an old roommate (hows the sun GG?) and theyre getting old. When i find that next job ill get the subscription however theres another thread started where peole are really bashing the articles about the treatment of the cover stories. "Yeah we sleep 2 hours a day in the airplane and fly all night and all day and all weekends and all holidays...but i love the quality of live and would never move" sort of reporting.

anyway

free to business aviation personnell
but if youre not, then its $36 a year.

Around the block,

I've got an old salary survey right here in front of me. Seeing how propilot usually reports the pay rates on the high end anyway, then these things im reading ought to be right for this current year. adding the usual increases over the past 2 years. anyway...

what specifically are you wanting to look up? any plane in particular? captain or co? charter or corporate or airline?

etc...etc...

My company flies LR-35 and a King Air 200. I am captain, Part 135, on both, with over 10,000 hours. Also what would a chief pilot make for this same company? (1 LR-35 and 2 BE-20's). Thanks for the imput and can I get a copy of you survey? (So I can take it in to show them what they should be paying).

Thanks

hmm...well its looking a little like this...remember the key item on this. The high rate is from usually really big or wealthy commpanies that retain the best possible pilots. Like Pentastar or IBM or GE types. Not everyone can pay this sort of 'bling-bling' and honestly the high pay rates listed border on ludicrous. the averages are pretty much the way to go but looking closer to the low side is more realistic from what ive heard of people 'really' making in these planes. like the first corp. lear-35 listing id say 50-60 would be acceptable. but im not sure what it is lately tho. so heres the listings from the June-2000 issue of propilot. current backissues of the salary review issue can be bought from them for $40 at www.propilotmag.com i think it would be worth it to take to your people.

average / low / high

LR-35 corp. chief pilot- 73k / 48k / 110k
LR-35 corporate captain- 65k / 45k / 90k
LR-35 charter captain- 77k / 56k / 86k

BE-200 corp. chief pilot- 53k / 45k / 67k
BE-200 corporate capt.- 48k / 38k / 63k
BE-200 charter capt.- 45k / 35k / 60k

when i was working for a midwest 135 operator a few years ago, the CP was complaining about people sending in resumes who were obviously reading Pro Pilot too much and saying they wanted 65k a year to fly the KA-350. thats the absolute high rate. i understand negotiating but c'mon. school teachers in CT make huge money but then it costs huge to live there. they shouldnt expect to make that much teaching out in Kansas or something. so flying both should get you a little bit extra, being the CP with people under you should get you a little extra.

i dunno....65k perhaps or so? i really have no idea....im not qualified to make that sort of guess. it also depends on where you live and the cost of living in that area.
