I'm just starting to scratch the surface with corporate...but i'm seeing this as well. I personally know of a flight department (that reached out) and is seriously restructuring the way they retain/compensate. They historically wanted 3000 plus, with 1000 PIC, type rating, etc for FO's. Now it's Part 135 miniumums, they pay for type rating, "company health care," not "pilot health care", 401K match vests immediately, and profit sharing, vacation day one. Company pilots have the same company benefits package as the management team. Times are a changing.
