Does anyone know where i can look up salaries for pilot pay. i've seen the pro pilot mag issue, but am looking for something else that doesn't cost anything. am i doing too much crack to expect to find something?

Probably the most reliable (and respected) salary guide is from NBAA. And, yes, that will cost you. It's been my experience that when you get the ProPilot salary issue, you tear that portion out and throw it away. IMHO they are way over inflated. I know several CPs who will have cramps from laughing so hard at their numbers. But hey, who says a Citation 500 co-pilot can't make $175,000 a year! :D

I understand.... our company uses the nbaa for salary base but i know there is a formula to figure out adjustments. ie the base salary is based on 350-400 hrs per year. what would be the adjustment for an average of 600-700 hours per year. know what i mean?
 
In the NBAA numbers I've seen, I have never noticed any "adjustments" based on number of hours flown. Only the typical, ie location, equipment, etc. I'd hate to be flying for an owner of a large turbine who only flies 150 hours a year...if the adjustments work both ways!

adjustments may be the incorrect word but the gist is the same. for instance; a hawker 700 line captain according to the nbaa flying part 91 is averaging $72,000/year. this average is based on a number of factors, one being average number of hours flown per year. (350-400) so if your company flies more than this consistently, there is a formula for raising the salary.for the guys that live on either coast that travels to the other coast several times a month you can see where you'd accumulate a little more flight time. i believe the formula is based on a percentage over 400 hrs maxing out somewhere. is this greek to everyone or is there a bean counter in the audience who would like to share his/her wisdom?
 
Try ProPilot Mag. Usually their June issue has salary studies. Not the most informative, but a good starting point.
