He also said he gets 28 actual days of vacation per year. And he doesn't commute.
Sorry folks, I have to throw the BS flag on that one. No company is going to pay a Phenom pilot that kind of dough. Not even half that much.
With the higher workload schedule option and a supplemental duty position, this pay is indeed realistic. All fleet types pay the same with the exception of the long-range fleets, which pay a little more on the PIC side.
