Falcon 50EX jobs

[Gulfstream 200]

WHAT 90K!??!?!?!?!? SOMEONE HELP..... Im a 50EX driver.. Capt... Was in a 900B Im not even close to 90k... What the F#$#!!!!! I need a new job!!!! SOMEBODY SHOW ME THE MONEY!!! Hey Dangerpssy whats up?!?!

you are a Captain (real sign for the a/c PIC, not "co captain") in a DA900/50EX and you are not even close to 90K?

are you serious??

BTW folks - there is often a signifigant pay difference between a type-rated "Co-Captain" (read co-pilot) and a PIC.

(not that this applies to falconpilot, Im just saying)

My guess is a Captain qualified guy would start at a minimum of 90K and be at 120-140K as a Captain.

G200 is correct.

Earlier this year, we put together a detailed DA50 salary proposal. We used every survey available as well as interviewing as many pilots as we could. A PIC qual'ed pilot should be getting $105K-$111K in base salary (before benefits). These #'s are for the west coast, PT91. If you subtract the 15% premium that west coast jobs often command over the national average, you're looking at $90K-$100K. Again this is for PIC qual'ed, base salary.

What part of the country are you in? Are you PT91? If you're "not even close" to 90K something's wrong.

Dont make me come out west and smack ya!

Yeah yeah yeah. Pbbbbbbtht.

I knew Danger Mouse way back when but I ate him. Didn't go down well though. Gave me bad gas!

HA HA HA HA! Cute.

Did you take the other job? Hopefully it's getting you away from the WSCOD! I would have answered your thread but it seems you got good advice before I arrived.

Hey, by the way great pic of your daughter. That shot you took was a classic.

Check your PMs. Thanks for the comment on the picture. I appreciate it.

I have to agree with the $90k-$100k figure for a PIC... As much as I'd like to believe $120-$140k for PIC, I just haven't meet anyone flying a 50 making close to that as a new hire...

 

[LegacyDriver]

Seems like nobody makes what people say they should make in any airplane. The only guys I ever met who were even close worked for Paramount. They made what I thought a Corporate pilot "should" make. But outside of that, everyone has made about 50-70% of what they "should".

Brutal business for sure. Thank goodness we're not the Regionals I guess.

 

[Gulfstream 200]

Maybe I explained it wrong...

I certainly was not thinking he would be 120-140K as a newhire, most likely 85-100K.

Im also guessing he wont be a fully cut loose International PIC as a newhire either.

The problem is he simply has not supplied enough information...

Does he have 1500hrs and this will be his first or second type rating? (read CO-captain for a while) or is he already a large a/c corp Intl Captain who simply needs to transition to the 50EX and a new company?

the difference in the 2 situations could be the difference between 85K and 130+K.

either way, good to hear there are jobs out there!
Good Luck.

Hmmm... In our neighborhood, every corp. dept. that I can think of is paying well above NBAA averages for the equipment being flown. Lots of happy pilots.

I am glad to hear that! Seriously. I have yet to meet anyone on my equipment who makes what the salary guides say they should, and like my friends on the Falcon, most seem to be woefully underpaid. Is it location-dependent? West Coast pays more than the South, etc... ?

I need to move to your neighborhood. All I'm surrounded by is families with kids.

 

[psysicx]

I didn't think there were lots of corp gigs in your neighborhood?

 

[Brett Hull]

None with good pay or QOL.

 

[psysicx]

Thats a shame.
