(B350 is higher paying than many light jets, on average) Again, this is just a survey and not set in stone. Also, if you had two pilots, and now one.
Then id say your pay should double if your flying just doubled. But if they used to do say 400 a year total. And now just 200 in each aircraft. Then at minimum, you should be paid the captain salary average for the higher paying aircraft, per the survey. Cost of living in the area, and other factors also then need be considered to add to that.

So if the flying is doubled then the pay should be doubled, but if the flying is cut in half the pay isn't cut in half?
Sounds good if not a little bias from a pilot's perspective (and not it tune with the reality of how the world works I'd guess - though I admit I'm not a corporate guy)
If he is salaried then the flying may go up and it may go down but that is the nature of t he business and he should be happy that it is solid and not dependent on actual hours. If he is a contract per hour/day, then the amount of flying would have an impact on the bottom dollar.
