FlexJet new hire salary
 
1 Attachment(s)
I just saw an advertisement on this forum stating "new hire $100K per year minimum and 5-year upgrade to Captain". Is this true? Flexjet really paying new hires $100K per year?

You have to read the fine print.

A lot has been included into that number and lots of assumptions have been made.

Link to the fine print?

I知 sure it assumes a 208 day PBS schedule, and maxing out every possible bonus opportunity. They池e probably tossing 401k contributions in as well.

$421 per day plus $42 per diem per day.

The advertisement states "starting at $100K", doesn't that mean the minimum you can expect to earn is $100K.

you're dealing with the two biggest dirtbags in the industry KR and RH (aka "smarter than no-one"). They like to twist facts and boldly lie straight to your face as they laugh all the way to the bank on your back. Go to Netjets - a real fractional airline

100k is a bit of a stretch but doable.

Base pay is as stated above, $421 per day. If you work 208 days a year (which is a lot), you値l make $87,500. Add in $8,700 for per diem gets you to $96,200. You can figure in a grand for overtime (day 1 before 6am, any day over 12 hours), couple grand for bonuses (if you meet the parameters which can be hit or miss), and a few grand in 401k match. So yeah, bottom number on your W2 might total 100k.

Another fine print item, and I知 not sure on this, is I think that while you are in training you are on a different (lower) pay scale. Much lower. Maybe a new hire can confirm if that is still the case.

OH FOR THE LOVE OF GOD. Per diem is NOT pay. It will not appear in the primary box of your W-2. Ergo, it is NOT compensation.

If KR and his bag of tools are using per diem to get a new hire to $100 K on paper, it shows once again what an obfuscating scumbag he is.

I think WT is simply trying to figure out how the may have arrived at the 100,000 figure that is being discussed in this thread.

He most likely got the idea from the numerous regional airlines trumpeting total compensation figures that include per diem, ot, hotel, uniform allowances, etc.

Which obviously is grasping at straws and headlines.
