Decent Corp Job

[blzr]

I ALMOST have to cry "Bravo Sierra" on that one. Maybe $23,900, but I would have to see it to believe it.

I get to move back home Not the best resume builder but it has the turbine conversion plus it will give me time to finish my degree so for me it works out well. Currently flying night freight in a van I'm looking forward to not being a vampire anymore I do like my current company but have to go with the better schedule and slighty higher pay

Mirage pilot

It really depends on where in the southeast you are flying out of. Monroe, AL or Ft. Lauderdale. Assuming you're not in the the southern Florida area it sounds about right. If you have other irons in the fire and you're not looking to fly bigger planes then this sounds great if you just like to fly. If you're looking to advance in aviation, with your total time, I'd walk or push for more like 60K.

Speaking from experience, the Mirage can be a great airplane and performs signifcantly better then most light twins, each carrying two pax.

pay /location

Its in NW Florida, I hope I didn't sell myself short on salary 40,000 for flying 2-3 days a week at most plus medical I thought was fair I can always ask for a raise later. they are thinking about upgrade to a PC -12 or VLJ.

 

[bagasticks]

sounds like a decent gig to me. .nice airplane. .nice schedule. . nice location. . .decent salary. .

I took a doctor gig a few years ago flying a BE-36TC FIKI for 50K/year. Very similar sounding job... flying 3-4 days a week , a few overnights a month but no weekends/hollidays. If your having fun and are getting a good QOL go for it. I wouldnt worry about the career advancement thing...You will build loads of skill being earlier mentioned dispatcher, pilot, baggage, line guy, sometimes mechanic, cleaner, etc.(not to mention IFR) that can transfer well to a corp dept. with your time people shouldnt be worried if you can "fly" or not.

I got a buddy flying a Lear who makes over 150k. And, he gets a nice bonus on top of that. The jobs are out there. Keep the faith! You never know what's around the corner.

Get that ATP with the hours you have, you should have it already IMHO

 

[bizjet800]

Where is this pilot based?? Id fly a C-150 for that kind of green!!

Shoot, for that kind of green, I'd dig ditches in Yuma all year long, and not complain!

 

[semperfido]

get ready to chit. CA PC12 driver making over 239k. And the boat rarely flies. No BS. Sometimes its just a matter of luck.

uh yeah right, and the other plane is a G5. C'mon man, that doesn't make sense. just sayin!

 

[Jetdriver69]

I fly the GV and the 850XP as Capt and I don't make anywhere close to approaching that much cash. I'd quit tomorrow and move myself for that job!

 

[ksu_aviator]

I'd go ahead and take it. But, I'd also plan on asking for more after year one. Bust your ass, and make it seem like he's getting a steal even if he pays you more.

 

[CapnVegetto]

I'd take that Mirage job. 40K a year for that equipment in the southeast is a good deal. You'll live pretty comfortably on that.

239K a year to fly a PC-12? Wow. Of course, in CA, with cost of living, 239K a year is kind of like 120K a year anywhere else. Lots of what I consider a 'good' salary depends totally on where you live. I've lived in AL, and 40K a year goes a long way there. If the QOL is as high as you're thinking it's gonna be, and they're giving good bennies, I'd take it in a second. Best of luck to you!
