Lear FO pay

A jet management/charter company in my neck of the woods is looking for a Lear 45 FO. Just curious what the average income is for a a spot like that.

Do you have any jet time? If you do and your typed I'd say 45-60k. If your have jet time not typed I'd say 30-40k. If no jet time I'd say 25k.

1200-1500hrs jet time. Haven't added up the logbook in awhile I'm working on it now. I'd do it for $55k+. I'll stay at my regional till then.

I got hired on a Citation X which isnt too much bigger for 55,000 with no jet time just a butt load of 121 turboprop time. So you never know!

GSP -

I'm surprised that there is such a disparity in pay tied to your experience level. Is that fairly standard among the corporate side of aviation? I mean it is good to see that people are getting paid for their experience finally; I guess I just expected a Lear pilot to be making more than $25K period.

Ziggy -

What are you considering low time? Hey - a $10K a year raise after 6 month is pretty good

How are things now?
Oh....and how did you come about that job?

Flight time is a relative thing. At that point I was around 1100 TT. But that job has since come and gone.
I've been really lucky in finding my jobs. Mostly I throw my resume around and talk to everyone.
