PS just happens to have a niche category below that, that unfortunately doesn't command as high of a salary. Unfortunately, the current PS flow is PC12 to PC24.
Who knows, this pilot market anything could happen. It would be cool if PS couldn't keep up with flow to the jet and went DEC straight into the PC24! I might jump on that!
I got you. I agree with your point. It's solid PC-12 pay for the gig that it is and for younger pilots. I was too broad brush just using pay in general across the fractionals.
