Glex,

I was looking at pro pilot's yearly compensation guide. Seems to me that 200k is way high for a Global captain.

Glex,

Here are the averages, you get a good part 91 gig with an owner who likes to take care of his pilots and well over 200K is possible, and then when you figure bonuses and perks and you get the picture.

It's all relative, man. I used to know a guy in Alabama that made $120K a year to drive a Citation II. That is WAY above the average, especially for that part of the country. Owner liked him and took care of him. Go figure.

91 is a COMPLETELY different world than 121. You aren't a cost unit driven by seniority, you are paid based on how indispensable your owner views you as and how good you are at your job.

200k for a GLEX captain in Chicago? Sounds about right for a better quality department...

Some owners are willing to pay more to have and retain familiar faces up front. It ain't the airlines...

Funny how 90% of pilots I talk to are above NBAA survey.

Beats 121, eh?

Not always, done both and they each have good and bad points...

Yeah, almost everyone I know is above the NBAA survey, but it does give you a good starting point for people new to the equipment.
