Pay raise for Ameriflight pilots
#33
Yeah, maybe if you get a super sweet high time run right out of the starting blocks (yeah right), scjfly is right, plan on 500-600 hours a year. The 1000 PIC turbine is really unrealistic in 12-18 months.

Make sure you sign up to be a Marriot points member. You'll get bucoo points. They try to let the Metro class have the crew car on the weekends, so make sure you get out and see Seattle. Other than that if you have the flows down, you'll be way ahead of the game!

Actually they are putting us up in the Homestead Suites now, Im not sure if that is an upgrade or not.

Just got the new pay scale. I am getting just under a $5000 raise for the PA31 at $28000!! When I compare that to what I would be making at SkyWest I am very happy with my decision to come to Ameriflight. In addition, I am logging PIC time for now and getting great experience. In my third year if lucky enough to get on the Metro or 1900 I could be making $45165. No reason to even think about the regionals now.

I am pretty new here, but there are a lot of very happy pilots at Ameriflight. The management of the flight department is the best I have seen anywhere although there is a rumor the VP is being offered a VP job at another 121 airline. I hope he stays.

As for the raise, I'm very happy to be earning more. However, I'm a little disappointed- while Chieftain CPs get a $2+ raise, 99 CPs... don't. I had been expecting parity in the raises, though I guess I can see why that didn't happen- 99 drivers are getting valuable turbine time, they're more locked in by the commitment, etc.

I just spoke to another new pilot person. The VP, CP and Dir of Trng were in OAK today. The VP addressed the raise and told them this was a 650K+ investment in the pilot group and was the largest pay raise in the company's history. He went through the method of how the raise was distributed in great detail. I will have more next week because we are having the meeting next week in my base. He also said some very interesting things about career moves in the industry.
My friend said that the VP was like he always is, very credible. A lot of pilots really like this guy and see him as very supportive of all of us. He told the group if they did not approve of the raise and if they were mad they should blame him and if they were happy, they should call the sole owner of the company and thank him. Who ever heard of any management guy taking the blame for the bad and giving the credit to others for the good stuff? Seems like a rare thing but in my encounters with the VP this is exactly the way he is. I can't wait to next week. All I can say is I got almost $5000 raise and it is hard to complain. I chose to come here over Skywest and I made the right decision with or without the payraise. It just sweetened the deal and confirmed I made the right move.
