Department manager or Chief Pilot pay will go up because they need to keep experience around for those positions, but line pilot? Not so much.
So how does the 91/135 side stem the attrition? My opinion is that QOL is going to have to drastically improve. Known days off and scheduled vacations would be a great perk and would cost very little to implement. It doesn't matter if a pilot only works 10 days a month if he/she can't schedule a vacation.
100% true. Corporate outfits don't necessarily have to pay what the majors do just give people time off and vacation like other directors andmanagment types get. I had the same issue. I might only work 8 days a month but if its all on weekends and I get no scheduled vacation... By the way vacation and time off is not when the jet is in MX. That and pay is the reason why I left and went 121.
