For somebody coming online today I would expect a minimum of 5 years before you get your hands on a jet. If the Nextants are gone by then, expect that 5 years to get stretched out farther. High seniority Nextant pilots will transition out of the fleet and therefore slow the PC-12 to PC-24 movement for a little bit.
Right now people in the right seat of the Nextant can either take a PIC Nextant slot or a PIC PC-24 slot, whichever comes up first. This will change in the future with direct PC-24 SIC slots from PC-12 captain.
JMO127 - Not sure where you heard about pilots not flying the 24? Everybody typed in the 24 has flown the airplane. Some much more than others due to operational needs (Line pilots>office pilots), but everybody's got some time. Recurrent classes aren't till early 2019.

Part-time PC-12 Captain out of CLT
What would the QoL be for a part time PC-12 Captain be out of CLT?
Looks like the website says 8 on 20 off, what does that usually translate to? (I.e. what day does the 8 start?)
What would you expect to take home $$ part-time?
Thanks

Unless they changed it PT pilots were only available to PSM based pilots. The nice thing is that PT Captains are also eligible for OT if they want it. So you could make a lot more than $25k.
Also for those that haven’t heard, starting Jan 1 starting salaries will increase $2k for FO’s and $10k for PIC.

Good first step. Sounds like the new DO is working out?
