And what does it look like time wise for a potential DEC to get into the jet? No, I don’t have SJS. In fact, I think the PC 12 is a baller plane, and I definitely want to check it out. I’m asking more on terms of pay. Also, is there any per diem?
And are there any authorizations for single pilot?
Lastly, is it (mostly) day or night flying?
Plane Sense pilots do get KCM but we don't get flight benefits. If you belong to the reward program for the airline, hotel, and rental car you keep those points.
Time wise to the jet for a DEC is the same as for an FO and that is about 4 years and you must stay on full time status.
Starting pay for a Capt is $60,000 and per diem $2.10 per hour for every hour that you are away from your base. Also if there isn't a 4 hour break during the day the Capt will order crew meals, paid for by Plane Sense, and you still keep your per diem.
All flying is with 2 pilots there is no authorization for single pilot operations.
Most of the flying is during the day as we fly when the passengers want to fly and most of them don't want to fly at 1 AM. That being said in the Northeastern during the winter months nighttime can be as early as 5 PM.
