You may also want to check out the Cessna Conquest II with Garrett -10's. The interior is a little bit smaller, but it cruises about 50 knots faster. (325+ ktas)

I just read an article on corporate pay. I can't remember the magazine, but it was this month's. Beechcraft makes an excellant product- I've never flown a bad Beech of any model. One of the fastest turbo-props out there (not currently being made) is the Cheyenne 400 at 350KTAS (no type rating needed = 12,000lbs). I used to fly one back in the '80's. The KA350 is fast too, but I don't know the numbers. There are a lot of Cessna jets too. Old and new, large and small, fast and slow, cheap and expensive. The VLJ's doesn't impress me, yet.

It's Business and Commercial Avaition magazine. A good issue to get if looking at a plane.

You'd have to check with the Be20 drivers on this board to be positive, but those seem like higher-than-average salaries to me. At those rates, I doubt you'd have a problem finding applicants (where do I submit a resume? 
). Also, unless your insurance carrier requires a right-seater, the 200 is a single-pilot plane.

im currently working some unloggable right seat time in the 200... ops spec says it is single pilot, but im just looking for a little experience... anyways, the guy that is flying is making close to 50 a year and flies about 400 hours a year... the downside is that he has to do everything at all

Well I'd want my pilots to be well paid, not underpaid. I can't even believe some of you guys fly for 15-25 grand a year. How do you do that? ur a pilot for god sakes. flying a multi million dollar airplane around on 15 grand a year, with advanced training. how do you guys even accept that salary? i make more then that on my 2 week paycheck!

It's true. First year pay and second year pay. Traditionally low and lower still today.
