Are corporate payscales known to the pilots in the organization or is it like some places I have worked...it is a secret. As a retiring army pilot I would prefer to be have an idea what I am going to be making 5, 10, 15 years down the road. When I flew for a local hospital the payscale was all over the map. I left to go back on active duty because I couldn't predict with any certainty what I would be making 5 years down the road. I have thought about applying to some local corporate departments but I have no idea what they pay so I have not even looked into it. I could see starting at x per year and 10 years later making x + 10%.

Corporate pay falling behind
Transparency is not normally a part of corporate aviation. I've witnessed this firsthand at a number of corporate ops. This allows the company to keep you in the dark (control) regarding employee compensation. The other benefit is to allow the company to additionally compensate the ass kissers in the flight department without your knowledge.

Also because in many corporations individual compensation packages for professional staff (like accountants/engineers/pilots) are individually negotiated, often within a given range, as opposed to working from a published 'scale' in the same way an airline pay longevity table shows.

if you don't get a raise, you're getting a paycut. Inflation sucks

Some are airborne in 1hr, some show in an hour, some show in 2hours. Some are 10-12 hr notice for 135 rest reasons.
We go by the 2 hrs minimum to show for the rare pop ups.
Even then we only do what we can do.
I won't live with a suitcase in my car.
Luckily we only get one or two of these a year.
