The SIC training contract is now $35,000. No details on if the pro-rate aspect has changed (percentage wise) but it is 35k or one year as PIC.
Management is making a poor decision with this one... they are desperate to keep PICs but the company culture they are going to create with enslaved pilots will be the death of them. "Come for the pay stay for the QOL" is the way they will keep the pilots coming and staying, instead their model is "come for the hours, stay because you can't leave."
Grow the jet fleet, pay the pilots more across the board (especially PICs) and give them something to look forward to that ISN'T "my next airline"

Can confirm both of the above are true. They’re also not fully disclosing it until candidates complete interview… management acts out of touch w the reality that most people want to leave sooner than later and they maybe not so much gaslight as they do downplay the enormity of a $35k commitment. To fly a PILATUS.
Dera is right though, I do enjoy the flying here and it’s a great place to get started in the industry but damn that chance is making the pilots resentful of this “opportunity” they’ve been given.
