Premier is great for time-building, to an extent. Its a bottom feeder, taking the odd jobs that other companies cant or wont take. Pay is mediocre, but adequate for a first job. Hours can be long, and upper management has their priorities skewed a lot of the time. The owner is a micromanager who is disconnected from the day to day operations, but still demands things be done HIS WAY. He can also get VERY petty for stupid things. Regular operations are usually fine, the Operations people are good to work with most of the time. At the end of the day, its a LOT better than instruction but its not a long term gig at all.

Long story short:

Cons
Meh pay
Bad Admin
MX takes too long to get done
VERY hectic schedule

Pros
Good for directly out of flight instruction
Lots of hours
Only sent to Marriot and Hiltons

depends on hours

I’d say if you’re a ATP with 2500tt and some turbine time, anything below 170k yr with benefits, 401k, KCM, 7on 7 off ish, home based would be about the minimum

if you’re low time and this is your first non CFI gig, first jet or twin turbo prop gig, be happy with 70-100k depending and ya takes what ya gets as long as you can legally also log the time as a REAL SIC

Above 5k TT with prior types, you already know the answers here
