Salary Negotiations
Now that the industry has changed a bit, what would you say would be a fair salary to shoot for, for a CJ4? For both a PIC rated co-captain, and a PIC rated captain. Thanks!

Get paid like one. Accepting sub standard wages cause of the corona virus is what starts the race to the bottom. Cost of living hasn’t dropped, why should your pay? |

Same as before. You’re still a professional.

good question. I guess the difference would be not qualifying time for PIC via insurance
Co-Captain is just that. It means two Captains on board. Now one of the two may be a "Lead Captain" or "Senior Captain" or "CAM" depending on what company you are working for, but both will get PIC pay. |

there really aren't that many places giving full time pilots 61.55 check outs or bothering with full school for an SIC type
insurance wants FSI, CAE, etc training proof. |
Would the pilots be ‘managing’ the airplane as well, or mostly just responsible for flying?

The OP has a good question. Small cabin PIC rates languished around $60,000 for a decade then slowly moved up to $85,000-$90,000. Only in the last year or two did they catapult over 6 figures.
Unfortunately that wasn't due to pilot professionalism; it was due to supply and demand. Get as much money as you can. Now is probably better than the fall. If you think we can 'hold the line' on pay when thousands of pilots are out of work and desperate for cash, you aren't thinking logically. |

Too many unknowns.... What region? How many days off? On call 24/7? $140K minimum if you are responsible for managing, but ask for more and work down if you need to. Guys flying the PC-12 as PIC are easily making high 5 and low 6 figures, so it should be substantially higher than that as a baseline.

I'm junior enough at my regional to be squarely in the furlough zone come October, and I am NOT going to work for less. Not over my dead body. I'll find work in another industry if I have to, before I do that. |
