Does anyone know what industry standard is for Pilatus pay?
I'm the owner/pilot of a part 91 PC12 based at SNA. I've found that PC12 pay can be all over the place from part 135 operators to part 91.
I have a highly experienced pilot fly with me on all flights. He is directly responsible for ALL maintenance schedule and paper work. He is the 'manager' of the airplane and simply not just the pilot. I expect him to handle every issue relating to the airplane. The vast majority of the flights are from SNA into Mexico and Guatemala.
We provide full medical, dental and pick-up the lodging when out of the country but all other additional expenses are his responsibility. He wasn't looking to build additional flight time and I wasn't going to hire him if he was. We both attend recurrent training together every year.
I provide him with a 'stable' annual salary of approximately $72,000 with a good QOL and in return was only interested in a reliable and experienced employee.
