I've seen ads for Global and/or G-V captains-$110-$115, G-V F/Os- $70,000-$80,000.
over in the Middle East they're paying some G-V/Global captains $140K+
Hi all,
I'm currently an A320 Captain for Shenzhen Airlines. BAA is popular in this neck of the woods as they have quite a few planes on order. They are based in Hong Kong, Shenzhen, Shanghai, and Beijing to name a few. It just depends on which aircraft and for which client. Here is the salary quote that was just emailed to me by Wasinc.
For the G550/450 type rated captains 10800/mo
For the F7X/F900EX type rated captain 9800
For the HW4000, CL850, CL605 type rated captain 8800
Non typed captains are 9000, 8100, 7200 respectively
All Captains receive 2400 month housing plus per diem
FO's are as follows...
G450/550 typed 7020
F7X/F900EX typed 6370
HW4000, CL850, CL605 5720
Non typed fo's are 5850,5265, and 4680 respectively
All FO's receive 1200 month housing plus per diem
Per diems for Asia 100/day
US/Australia 80/day
Europe 140/day
I know a few guys there and they seem content. I'd be over there if they had a commuting roster. They also have a couple A318CJ's. I think the pay is similar to the G450/550...maybe slightly higher, I haven't checked lately.
Hope that helps....
