I wouldn't bet your career on answers from these caged wounded dogs. They lost their Union and they will attack the owner that feeds them. I suggest you throw them a bone, stay away from fake news and move on. There are much better sources of employment elsewhere.

However, I'm glad you agree there are much better sources of employment elsewhere.

Just out of curiosity, what is the pay on the 650s?

Base salary is $160,000. Plus bonuses.

What does the total compensation work out to? Is everyone PIC and pay is the same for everyone?

I'm not familiar with Flexjet and the operation, but for home base not "on call" schedule that pay seems decent.

I'm not really sure what kind of bonus those pilots are making. It's probably a decent amount, as in 10's of thousands over the course of the year.

The challenger 350 pays more, and you get home basing and hard days off. There are pilots who have bid out of the G's and into the challengers.

That's pretty interesting. Thank you for the information. How does the 350 pay work? I looked briefly at the pay scale on here and it looks like everything is a day rate? Nonetheless, sounds like good pay on the Challenger as well.

The 350 does pay well, however it’ll take 15+ years to get there. Meanwhile the first officer and Lear/phenom/CL300 captain pay is below industry average. It’s an odd pay philosophy that the company adheres to. Pay 20% of your employees above average, and 80% below average. It’s suppose to make people want to stay. Doesn’t have that effect however.
