When you hire a GIV Captain at $85K a year you have to ask yourself why would someone take the job?

You take the job if you are being laid off from your "wonderful airline job at the world's greatest airline" (NOT!), you don't have any corporate ratings and the G job is in your home town and the pay will go up as your experience goes up.

You have to look at each situation and decide it it's right for you. Is it worth it to me to uproot my family to move to Hoboken, NJ for double the pay? No. Not at this time. But that's just me. Having made the "Big Bucks" at the airlines for at least a couple of years, I've found I'm much happier in my current situation at considerably lower pay. I'll live longer.TC

Great post TC. Big picture is always important. If all we cared about was compairing our situations to others we would all be miserable. Someone is always going to have it better than me or you ect.

With that said .... 85K a year for an experienced G captain .... shhheeesz. Gimme a break. Pehaps you will get the guy who was flying G-IV outta socal with revoked licence. Good luck.
