Just curious what the average G-IV pay is for an FO and Capt. with a private company that fly's about 350-400 hours a year.


Thanks.
 
"250k"?! For a GIV? I shudder to think what the "hanger duties" might include... :eek: TC
 
really, where does one make 250K as a GIV pilot?

I gotta beg them for a job.

Sorry but not in our F/D ...

80-95K Cap. & 45-55K F.O. are the numbers we consider for our future G450 crew (Really we will contract only a new Cap. as F.O. we'll kept our current Chief Pilot - because he hasn't time on G-IV's or G450, but has 1000+ hr on a DC-9-50 ).

But depends on the TT, if p.91/p135, and of course the Insurance Agregment and the location.

We operate P.91 at the caribean, also we pay the housing of all the crews and key maint. personnel.

.... Hey Wait, right now we are NOT seeking for the G450 Cap. our plane must be delivered on Q3-Q4 2006, so we have enough time to look for the options.

$250K is not that tough to find if you're looking at the total compensation package. Lots of the major departments can hit that for their senior guys once you figure in defined benefit pension plans, stock options, stock grants, profit sharing, discounted stock purchase plans, company matches to 401K and executive savings plans, incentive plans, bonuses and so forth.

What's hard to find is the $350K+ paid by outfits like SAH East Coast and H&S Air to their top guys.

I say again, 250K? - start throwing out names - please. PM me.
 
I friend of mine is making 250k flying a GIV in LAS and another guy I know is making 330k in SNA. Both Part 91 for individual owners.

That would have been in the pre-Schwartz days when 300K and 301K were G-IVs serial numbers 1267 and 1268 and most of the guys in the flight department were named John...

When you hire a GIV Captain at $85K a year you have to ask yourself why would someone take the job? Are they inexperienced? If they are experienced and they are taking 1/2 as much as an experienced guy can make, it probably means they've got some kind of history (alcohol, violations, inability to work with others). Remember you get what you pay for!
 
Any one know if there are any of the good paying jobs in the Pittsburgh area?? I'll throw my hat in the ring........250K Nice!!!

Yes, we get we PAY for!, to date w/o public procurement we received 3 excelent resumes, the mean candidate has 8000 hr TT and 300+ on Gulfs as PIC + 1200 Jet, that covers the tipical insurance agregment, you must remember that fliying a plane is also a business and business is business, also we will finnace the type rating for the selected crew, we rely more in good training and psicological evaluation, than on a 20000hr TT and Military services.

Now, Why a guy with 10000+ hr look to fly a BJ instead to try be hired by an airline...

Is very respectable the politicies of companies who pays 250k+ to their Cap. in some cases means a large and impecable career with the same employer, but is very different the situation for the just hired, if you want 250k+ at year, you must to prove your value.

In the typical pilot career a BJ job is only a transition for an airliner job, but many FD they want to keep their cap's by confidence reasons usually offer better compensations to avoid the natural carrer jump, is the price of the captain's career castration.

But is not the same situation when a new BJ capt. is hired.

because many airlines suck is the short answer.

i don't agree with these statements. not everyone wants to work for an airline. i haven't, since i was wet behind the ears. after a furlough, i got over it. and i didn't have 10,000 hrs. i think you are right in that the big bucks (200+) usually come with long term commitments (unless you are running the show).

the castration bit is over the top. :)

your 80-95k is on the low side of the curve. i would think that since you are new to Gs you would want someone that is already typed and with more than 300 hrs in a G and pay him accordingly. then there is the problem of internal equity. oh boy this G has more implications than just the purchase price.:)
