The fractional wages in that study are pretty pathetic when compared to Part 91 and even 135 for the same aircraft type - no big surprise. I am not sure how scientific the survey is, however.

You are right on this one. For having at least two weeks off per month, the fractional pay is close to a Part 135 pilot that is on call 24/7.

Scientific??? No way. Everyone who fills out the Pro Pilot and NBAA forms for this info always inflate the numbers. Then, when the figures are published, they can use them as negotiating leverage for more cash for themselves.
The only accurate figures are the ones for the airlines, fractionals and other areas that have the figures published by the company.

these studies represent a very small portion of the population. Few take the time to fill them out and those that do often put the wrong information to influence this or that.

In addition, it is usually highly geographically prejudice with the Northeast overly influencing the numbers, especially in the NBAA numbers as so many of the big corporate flight departments are there.

If you take California and New York out of the equation, the numbers may well come up way differently. You could then look at states like Florida that do not have a personal income tax.

I don't think they look for "hanging chads" unless the vote comes from Florida.
