I'm not sure about the 100, but our Phenom 300 pay is no longer above industry average. Its just average, and the king air pay has already been mentioned. This is a very unique time in aviation with all the hiring, and companies have been making changes to attract pilots not because they want to give more, but because that's what they need to do to be competitive. I'm grateful for our own changes that allow me to have a 10/5 schedule, but that was announced early this year, initiated in October, and now it's December almost a year later and guess what- it's not as strong as an incentive as compared to earlier this year based on what other companies are now offering and continually changing to offer more as well. Since it has been brought up several times, lets compare Wheels Up. I could be an Excel SIC making the same as I am on the 300 as a PIC, with the opportunity to make six figures as a PIC with a 2:1 schedule, just as we have here after 18 months... and with the majors excessive planned hiring next year, that will affect the whole industry. So what I'm really wondering is what EAS will improve next (if anything) to keep me here?
