A first year FO at Netjets or Flex, makes more money then a first year captain at Flyexclusive. That bothers me, and honestly, makes me feel undervalued as a FE new hire. I understand that we're a young company, but this is simply wrong.
A first year captain at FE is making 140-150k pretty easily, NOT counting 401k match, per diem, insurance they pay for, just straight pay. $115,000 in salary and with the hour bonus most CAs are making an extra $2-3k per month, work a couple extra days and make $1,000 per day plus a likely $3-400 per day because most of your extra days will also put you into bonus hours. I dont believe Flex is close to that on 1st year FO pay. Where the difference comes in is a 3rd or 4th year CA at FE and a 1-2 year CA at FLEX, thats where FLEX starts to accelerate past.
