Yes, yes, and yes. I'm not Chief Pilot, but a lead captain. Was a co-captn before. I know the salary of the previous pilot.
We don't have dispatch. Do our own weather. Make the calls to a flight plannning service, but still are responsible for that end, too. Coordinate with Mx and owner's schedule. Check up on Mx and responsible for keeping an eye on the progress. Sign off on the other's (except CP's) log and expense forms. Find hotels for crews and occasionally PAX. Arrange owner's requests before/during/after flights. yada yada yada...
FA orders catering, what a relief!
1 airplane. No other jobs lined up. was told the next person/people they hire will be not be higher on the chain. yeah yeah yeah... "told"... I know, I know.
Seems like if I continue on that path, I'm setting myself up for future not-so-great situations.
That said, I'm not in much of a position to demand, either. But they don't know that.
Not a bad company, really. But this does seem strange to me.
