Even WheelsUp and Flexjet are paying more!
For comparison, here’s what you’d make base pay at Flexjet:
SIC @ 183 days (same # of days worked as a 7/7 but on a PBS), Year 1: $93,879
SIC on fixed 8/6, Year 1: $106,704
Note that current upgrades into the Phenom allow any who want it to upgrade to PIC in under a year. For those who wish to bypass the Phenom and wait for our Challenger or Praetor fleets, those upgrades are both currently sub 24 Mo. Year 5 SIC and Phenom PIC pay will only be for comparison purposes, and is not a realistic path at Flexjet.
SIC @ 183 days, Year 2: $95,040
SIC on 8/6, Year 2: $109,824
Phenom PIC @ 183 days, Year 2: $122,610
Phenom PIC on 8/6, Year 2: $139,360
SIC @ 183 days, Year 5: $105,591
SIC on 8/6, Year 5: $120,016
Phenom PIC @ 183 days, Year 5: $137,982
Phenom PIC on 8/6, Year 5: $152,256
DRL PIC @ 183 days, Year 5: $154,086
DRL PIC @183 Days, Year 10: $180,804
These numbers do not include any bonuses (up to $4k per year for fuel savings, 10% of annual salary for SIC, 15% for Phenom PIC, and 20% for DRL PIC), per Diem, etc. and are strictly daily rates or fixed rates based on schedule type.
I’m not here to bash NJA, but since Flexjet was brought up I thought I’d provide some context regarding earning potential here. Best of luck to all those who are looking to make the next steps in your careers!
