A lot of the money comes via bonuses—fuel, aircraft availability, etc.

ILC bonus rates are higher than DRL which are higher than Phenom/FO.

Thanks a lot 👍

Did I just see a Flexjet G500?

I think I saw a Flexjet G500 in TEB tonight. How many on order? I assume replacing G450s?

Yes, they announced the 500 will replace the 450.

Regarding pay, there seems to be some debate. ILC is paid salary plus bonuses, DRL (Praetor/Challenger PICs) are paid a daily rate plus bonuses. I havent seen the math but IF a DRL CA wants to work a lot of days (Say 16+ per month), they probably make more than ILC, some DRL CA want a minimum schedule (especially now that a lot of the RAC are upgrading) so they may only work 10-12 days per month and I am sure they make less than ILC.
