Rightfully so..They should require 135 PIC mins or higher period and establish probation period with strict rules to avoid problems from the past..

Thanks, but no thanks. A PC12 does not require a type rating. I can understand system training, etc. is required, but I cannot see how a $25k contract is required. I flew for a 135 on a twin-turbine last year and they did not require a training contract. My citation type rating did not even costs $20k

I read that raises are 5k/yr. What does a captain top out at?
Year 1. 60k + 5k bonus =65k
Year 2. 65k + 20k retention = 85k
Year 3. 70k + 20k retention = 90k
Pretty good money for 4 days a week on a Pc12.
