Im certainly interested in the company as a long term choice, but year 1 FO pay is a big cut that I’m looking to minimize. Recruiting tells me it’s down to 3-6 months. Is that realistic?

There are opportunities for bonuses to help boost year 1 pay while waiting for upgrade.
Challenger and Praetor run about the same 14-18 months on the high end.
ILC in theory is open to anyone on Day 1, but the shortest time I've seen since I've been here is ~6 months and that was because the applicant had an established relationship with the hiring aircraft commander due to prior military service. Most ILC applicants are getting traction between 18-30 months, but that program is either who you know or how many times you're willing to go back to the grindstone and interview again.

Ok that sounds more realistic. Thanks for that info so far. Now are you referring to these fuel bonuses and such that are to augment your pay above 100 a year first year? And if so, what’s the numbers guys are seeing on these bonuses? Assuming you are using the pbs schedule…currently doing 8/6 so that isn’t too big a deal to me.
