There is nothing wrong with "entry level"

It does not mean you get treated any differently than other pilots in the operation, other than pay and other benefits that grow w seniority/experience.

We would start an "entry level" SIC type guy at 110-130K (well below Captain pay in type) and they would go to school and get typed. The problem is 90 days later when FSI calls them a PIC and they have 30 hours in the plane and they really think they can be out there making 160-200K as other PICs do.

Lots of entitlement out there today...another reason to avoid the "hire the type rating" mentality. Id rather hire a good guy with some Citation time than an entitled guy with a Global/GV/Falcon rating.
