LR-25.........25k no benifits on call 24/7?.....

[skeeter666]

gimmmie a break....what should a part 135 operator pay for a sic in a LR-25 out of SDL? NO benifits or hard days off and on call 24/7. They tell me that he has sic that pay him 100dollars an hour......comon guys....we need to crack down on this! I would love to talk some sense into those kids!

Let me guess, they only pay per flight hour.

 

[skeeter666]

no, it's salary!

 

[G100driver]

no, it's salary!

So you mean the PIC is $25K and the SIC is $100/hr.

WTF?!?!?!

Sounds like a great gig. Do they get share hotel rooms while eating at In 'n Out? Where do I sign up?

I think he meant the SIC is PAYING $100/hr to tag along. That is freakin pathetic!

But it's a Learjet!

As long as there are hungry pilots out there, whether low-time or unemployed, positions like this will never have a problem being filled.

Ask them if they know what "FOD" stands for. (besides foreign object damage)

[smellthejeta]

Get it right! They're paying for *training*, not a job...

 

[EMB170Pilot]

Sdl...

... Learjet... 24/7... sounds like air ambulance to me. I used to work for B & C Flight Management and I was paid $36K to start (two years ago) as SIC. I quit because the aircraft were never worked on, engine logs falsified (for hot section due), company insisted on busting flight/duty time regs and a mulititude of other infractions expected of the flight crew; the FAA shut them down for, among other things, as I heard it, having their own FAA stamp to falsify their own documents. Aircraft impounded and auctioned off. Good ridence!! This guy was one of the worse.

Then you hve a company called, American Support Group, based in the Netherlands that claims that they operate Lear and Hawker aircraft under Part 135 (foreign ownership of a US certificate?) and they guarantee you a job in the right seat of a jet aircraft, including appropriate visas, for a pricely sum. Jobs that should be going to hard working American pilots who have EARNED their way into a turbojet seat - not buy it.

BTW, that $36K per year job went to a French pilot for $25K no sooner than the door shut behind me. Those of you who scramble to take a job in an antique aircraft with no paid training for type, RVSM, Internation Proceedures etc... are hurting the business of flying. If no one took these slave wages, then the bottomfeeders will have to raise the standard.

Now I fly G200 for a corporation that takes care of their pilots, pay for training and treats us with respect. But I am still paying my dues the old fashioned way. Thru hard work!!
