AIRLINE PILOT CENTRAL

What would be the average pay for a kingair 200 F.O. Do kingair 200's have F.O.'s I'm a 121 guy that's new to the Corporate world.

There used to be and still may be a publication called, Professional Pilot. I believe it is geared to the corporate pilot. I know it used to have an anual salary survey.

If I had to guess though, I'd say a corp. flight dept could get an FO for a -200 for about 20K/yr. Why would they pay more?

FlyerJosh

20K is probably a bit low. My guess would be in the range of 25-35K starting. The issue at hand is often insurance minimums that require higher times/experience (even for FOs). That equates to higher starting salaries. Plus most corporate operators pay higher because they don't want to deal with high turnover that comes with poor payscales.

The Professional Pilot pay scales issue is next month I think... I'll be happy to post any salary info once it arrives in the mail.

I make more than $20k and I FO a 90

Damn glad to hear it. I ask the rhetorical question, "Why would they pay more?" through the cynical eyes of this jaded aviator. Get as much as possible. We all know it can disappear in an instant.

I have found that the insurance difference in operating an airplane with 2 pilots over 1 pilot is a factor...It was cheaper for me to hire a First officer on my CE550/SII then pay the insurance company for single pilot operations. And that included sending the kid to Simuflight...I think it's called CEA now.

Open question to everyone. What would a C550 Captain be making in the LA Area?

Corpjet, have you checked your Pri Mess? I have news for you.

I have the June 2006 issue of "Professional Pilot" right next to me and it happens to have the annual corporate pilot pay study.

B-200 Captains are listed with an average salary of $57k with a lowof $41k and high of $69k respectively. For a "corporate" position (I imagine this is a part 91 department)

On the Charter side, FO pay ranges from $28k on the low to $47k being high and an average of $33k per year. Captains are making anywhere from $39k to $62k with an average of $51k.

These are all higher than the same seats in a Lear 24 or citation 500.

Pilotpip,
What about captain range for a King Air 350? I'm coming up on a salary review.
