Lear 45 Captain pay

[stillflyn]

Can someone tell me where the average salary would fall in for a fortune 500 part 91 corporate department as a Lear 45 Captain?

Thanks in advance.

Check out the June 2008 issue of Professional Pilot magazine. It is the Salary Study 2008 issue.

I don't have a copy. Anyone with one that could post the high/low and average for part 91.

Thanks

Lear 45 Captain:

LOW - 68K
MID - 87K
HIGH - 108K

Pro Pilot and AIN are easy to get for free, even BCA (best of them) can be had free if you look around.

Good Luck!!

It all depends on where you live. If you are in Wichita Kansas flying for Koch Industries 75K would be just fine. If you are in New York City you probably need 100K. Where is the position and how much flying is it.

Be careful as there are 100's of airline guys who will do it for 1/2 of that as they are soon unemployed!

Did you not see his ratings? 90k(+/-15k) is normal unless it is 135 than 75k(+/-10k). Good Luck! I am on my 2nd Fortune 200 Lear 45 gig and this is what I've seen.

Ncherches made a good point, our airline buds are going to keep our average pay down.
Go ahead and slam me, but they will be in droves looking for any flying job that burns Jet A with no regards for pay.

Thanks for the replies guys. J3, I am an airline guy making the move to 91. I'm asking for the pay rates so I don't get undercut. Don't worry I don't want to be underpaid more than you don't want me to be underpaid.

Does anybody have the NBAA numbers for fortune 500 in the southeast. Captain and chief pilot if possible. Thanks.

Of course airline guys will undercut... but let's examine why:

"Oh, you're an airline pilot.... sorry we don't hire current or former airline pilots."

"You're not type rated in any bizjet? Sorry, we want typed guys."

What's sad is that VERY, VERY few operators actually look at the person FIRST, then their background/type ratings...

Anyone have an idea on how to dazzle a corporate/charter employer without the prejudged airline stigma?
