King Air Salaries

[Propnose]

Just curious if anyone can tall me what the average salary is for a King Air F/O, or where I might be able to find it.

Thanks in advance.

 

[Propnose]

Nevermind.... I just saw the Pro Pilot Salaries listed in the other thread

king airs have f/o's, and they get paid?

 

[sydeseet]

In many cases yes to both.

Do you have a link to that pay scale thread? I'm curious as to where my pay stands in comparison...I know it's on the low end, just curious as to how low!

Thanks!
Capt Salary is right inline with our company pay...our FO pay, however, is lower than that listed.

 

[Propnose]

Lower than Low or lower than Average?

Man, 600 hrs and in a DA20? Dam, cool for you man....

Maybe I should have went to my home state school after all!

That gig anywhere in IL? PM me if you want

 

[Flying Illini]

Lower than low. Unfortunately.

This "job" is awesome! The pay isn't great but if I want more money I could go back to flight instructing till I hit 1500 hrs (that's when pay takes a very large leap...nearly up to the average listed above). I'm flying a king air, a falcon 10 and a falcon 20 with only 700 TT. Talk about the right place at the right time!

All the companies in the Tampa Bay area that I know of pay King Air FOs $200 per day...

King air F/Os

Of Course they have F/O's .......somebody's gotta get the Coffee and turn on and off the Fasten Seat Belt sign ....lol

 

[bozz2]

Kingairrick could you expand on which companies in the Tampa area? I'm looking VERY hard at getting any kind of job there.

 

[Limeyflyer]

I made 24K my first year in the King Air, it went up significantly now I am flying the Hawkers as well.

 

[Corporate Dream]

That's awesome you guys are able to get these turbine jobs with
your total time. I don't have nearly enough time to get a decent job where I live. congratulations. ps, are any of these companies hiring?

Yep, I'm that guy. (Plus the switching the bleed air's and the environmentals)

The 200 is not certified for two crew-members so the Co-pilot's in this outfit don't see any monetary benefits. But at my age, I see it as getting paid w/ Turbine time (all the Capt.'s are MEI's)

I get to exercise my Commercial Multi. privileges in a Turbo prop A/C while not spending a dime, and the company gets to fill both seats up front-which most pax prefer. It's a Win/Win.

Hey wickedpilot, I would ask about the insurance requirements for the KA200. The underwriter most likely requires your company to have two crew members onboard. If so, they better be paying you something. If not, you are doing a great disservice to all pilots
by letting them use your services for free.

In my previous position, our KA200 co-pilots were paid $200 a day. I used CFI's from the local flight school near where I lived. I thought I would give them the chance which I never received at that stage of the game. ME Turbine time and good pay to boot.

Just my thoughts.

 

[wickedpilot]

Sesso- Just finished thumbing through my manual: 91 Ops- One pilot, 135 Ops VFR- One pilot, 135 IFR- Two pilots, or One Pilot with an approved Three-axis Autopilot. (We've got it in our B-200)

The Caps fly the 200 solo all the time. Many of the "on-demand" co-pilot's have other flying and CFIing jobs. In other words, if they can't find a co-pilot, they just go on about there trip (alone )

The Cheif pilot just likes to expose the local CFI's to some ME Turbine time.

 

[flyboy]

I get $300 per day as co-pilot on the BE200. Of course, it's as contract pilot but it's time I need and both caps are MEIs. They let me do most of the flying so it's a good time.

Come on! Isn't anyone going to call you guys whores and go on a rant about PFT?

This board is going down hill fast...TC

P.S.--I did the same thing to build time. It was great experience! The plane I flew had the hobbs on the gear and we just flew around the pattern while we waited for the pax. That was probably the last good deal I've seen in aviation!
