I just had a few beers and wings with the guys that used to work for me and the new chief pilot. Operators are throwing stupid money around in the Northeast. A Global just got crewed at $260k+; but, I asked the kicker—how many pilots on a managed and chartered plane? Two. I then pointed out the potential QOL issues and the owner was buying pilot’s lives. Great money, being away or on-call 365, not worth it.
