Pilatus Pay?

Pilatus Pay?
What would a Captain/PIC of a fractionally owned Pilatus PC-12 expect to make flying 300 hours a year, based in the New York City Metro area. What is a competetive salary, any Benefits, cell phone? etc... Any info from PC-12 drivers or others is welcomed

Did you not post this last week? I thought 50K was settled on for the NJ area?!

50 k is CHEAP...ANYWHERE!!!!!!65k 75k is they value your professionalism

Where are you seeing these kinds of numbers, especially in the FRAX world? I can see 60+ for a private non-pilot owner (ie no schedule), but otherwise, I think those figures are a little high. IMHO

Sadly, in the southeast pay is in the 36k to 45k range for a 12. More if you are A/C manager etc.

Geronimo...Hmmm...then you obviously need a pay raise, IMHO...lol

Cowboy,

By you avitar, if you are currently looking for a job @ 1400 hours flying the PC12 for $65k, you are certifiable...and overstating your value.

I don't believe there is a single pilot airplane (limited to 'Captain' duties) salary in the latest Salary Survey(s) making more than $50k. You have got to take on more management and increased responsibilities to break the mid century mark.

100-1/2

All of us in this industry NEED a pay raise, but as to whether or not we all GET one..............

For what it's worth, I made 48K when I flew PC-12's (single pilot). This was a 135 gig in Alaska, so I'm not sure what the fractional guys make. However, many of the other PC-12 folks I spoke with make more that I did.

I keep hearing 40K plus, and this company wants to pay me or whomever is desperate enough 18K a year to fly this Pilatus. I may have to politely decline for anything under 40K. A pilot needs to make a stand at some point and demand what the experience and ratings call for. I believe this is a good place to start. Thanks for the replies.

18K??!! :laugh:

I thought flying corporate was supposed to get us away from regional wages. Thank you for passing this up. AF is always looking for people, if you are interested.

2.5M and they will only pay what ?? I know a guy making 65K, part 91, private.

 

[PC12Cowboy]

100 and 1/4 Hmmm first you ASSume that I'm talking about me. I'm not the one making that but I know a few pilots out here on the left COAST that are making that with full benefits and great perks to go with....
Sorry you feel obligied to reference someone's total time ....but I am insured on the 3 12's that I fly if the were more consistant I would be looking for a job..
JUST so you know buddy

Actually, 3.4 mil out of the box with all the bells and whistles. You would be hard pressed to find a used one for 2.5!!

I believe you can find the median pay scale here. which for a pc12 chief pilot (me) is about 89k. that is the middle. I'm first year at 65k with phone computer full paid expenses etc... don't settle! We are professionals. And p3aw, yes! they are 3.5. You have that book ready for me? I'll pick it up this week.
