Hey all...
I was fortunate enough to be re-hired by the corporate aircraft management company that I flew for prior to leaving for ACA and being subsequently furloughed. I am thrilled that I'm going to be continued being employed as a pilot in these difficult times.
I just had a quick question regarding compensation. I'll be principally assigned as single pilot PIC in a Malibu and Baron, as well as SIC in King Air 90 and 200 series aircraft and will be paid $150.00 per day regardless of what my assignment is. Our company schedules pilots on a 17 day per month annual average (guaranteed to be paid for 10 days per month and at the one year review if we have not averaged 17 days over the course of the year we are paid the difference in a lump sum payment). In my case, this works out to be about $32,000 annually. Overall, I think this system is a fair way to ensure a livable wage and worked out very well for me when I worked for this company previously. I guess I just wanted to make a comparison with other pilots with similar assignments. What are the going rates for other Baron and/or Malibu pilots or King Air SIC's? I'd be interested to know what the compensation is like for other companies flying similar equipment just out of idle curiosity. I think I'll probably be buttoning down with this company for the forseeable future since the industry is pretty much in shambles and a recall to the airline is probably not on the near horizon.
At any rate, I'm glad to be back on the corporate side of the house. Having had the opportunity to fly on both sides has shown me that the grass is green with a few brown spots no matter which one you choose. Although I would really like to be recalled by the airline (because you get a schedule with known days off and travel benefits), I have also learned that I could be content flying corporate for the long run (because you know your passengers, have better fringe benefits, and are able to better control your own destiny). Life will be good no matter which direction circumstances end up taking me for the duration.
