Let me play Devil's Advocate here.
If I were only flying a G550, I would still command the same salary as someone flying a G550 and a CJ? I understand the reasoning, but what this tells me is that I'm flying the CJ for free. I still have to attend the training, do the studying, and be comfortable in the CJ (heaven help you if it's 135!), yet I get no more then the G550 only captain that doesn't have to do that?
I know that to have any job in this aviation environment is a good thing, and I understand the thought about being current in 2 types is a bonus, but I think a dual qualified pilot should be worth something more then one who doesn't have to maintain that dual currency.
I have been making this argument with my employer, since I'm flying 2 different types, but like the rest of you, I'm not arguing too loudly!

Well, I had a chance to speak with the boss, and "mid 90's" was the word. So that sounded pretty fair. And, I'm 30. It is a management company, but trips are owner only and 135.
