Pay Scales Question

[Big Picture]

Folks, thanks a lot for all the good responses.

I spoke with my boss again yesterday. He "explained" to me how much money the company had invested in me after two type ratings and how I would "eventually" get to the numbers I wanted. He reiterated how unrealistic the NBAA numbers are. He said that he would have no problem finding another captain at my current salary. He said a couple of other things and then sugar-coated the whole thing by saying how happy he was with my performance. Whatever.

This job definitely has some things going for it but not enough IMO to justify "eventually" getting paid what I should be getting paid today. It's not the solution I was looking for, but I think I'll be sending out some resumes.

Thanks again for everyone's help.

... but I think I'll be sending out some resumes.

Get some time in type first...

Absolutely. It will take me a while to update logbooks and the resume so it shouldn't be a problem.

Thanks,
BP

Just trying to figure out the logic of your last post. If you were setting GEXDriver's salary, you would be the Aviation Director of a Fortune 50 company, which most would consider a desirable position. Yet, you wouldn't want it?

After reading some of your posts, my real question is what do you fly and where are you in your career? You don't seem to realize that pilots from major flight departments like Pfizer, Proctor & Gamble and 3M retire millionaires.

I guess I just tend to look at the overall employment situation, rather than simply "How big is the airplane." For example, were someone to offer me a job flying a G4 that strictly did out and back day trips, no flying on weekends or holidays and no extra duties on non-flying days, I might be willing to work for less than if I were offered a job flying a Challenger that required me to work R.O.N.s weekends and holidays, and to clean the aircraft on my non-flying days.
