Sticking it out to be a PIC is a great opportunity, as you will receive a wealth of PIC turbine experience in a very diverse and dynamic environment. Not to mention we have fantastic SIC's.
1st, 2nd, 3rd year SIC pay all are the same, with the exception of a small merit based raise that can be awarded during an annual review.
I hope that's helpful, have a great evening.
How hard is it to get hired straight into PIC position? What times are they looking for? I have been flying 121 for about 4 years now and will jump at the chance for this. I just can't afford the jump for a sic position. Living in DFW area but would be willing to move.
