Job on 350.com, 3 months on 1 off, based Saudi, $8000 + $75 per day expenses for CAPTAINS! Ouch.

Wasn't that long ago that this sort of position was paying $15K.

Crazy... We have FOs making that kind of money on Falcon / Gulfstream etc with much better rosters.

I feel your pain. Remember that PPRuNe is an open forum, and some pilots here fly only the airframes built by Microsoft, while others are 300 hour guys living in some obscure place. Some are really upset, and use this as a place to vent their anger at life. ..

a perfect answer that matches the real life of the very most here who try to shine at least in the "safety" of internet anonymity ! to your question : especially in the bizjet market nowaday there is no average sallary for a given position on a given type but it all depends how much worthiness the company or the owner sees in you , basicly it starts to be ripped off for the rating and sitting p2f rightseat not touching anything ,to real attractive jobs when you have the smart , experience ,reputation and contacts for a given place.

and its not really dependent on the type you work on.

you say to have +5000 hours- so you should/would know that real pilots life today is pretty different what it might to appear for a spectators eye. .

cheers

That's extremely low. I know captains in China flying G450 and G550 making over $20k/month.

Making 20K in China... do those jobs really exist..

You see the ads around now for capt on the Gulf/Global, but they not offering more then 14-15K...

Great question Ausie,,,,

Some positions make near 20K a month US, but those guys are in HK where you have to pay 16% taxes and a whopper of a lease payment for their flat each month.

After you are all in, the China / HK / Macau jobs all pay out the same, which is 12-14K USD per month after tax and flat payment. This is for a guy with 500 hours on type and 1,000 slogging around the whole world.
