ChaseIt,
I can't speak to UK... But I would suggest being more specific in your question. IE:
1. Corporate or Charter
2. Aircraft size small, medium, large or more specifically make and model.
Otherwise you will not really be comparing apples to apples..
Just a thought.

Ten to twenty years ago, biz-jet pay did carry a decent risk premium to reflect the not inconsiderable risk of losing your job in business jets - If you could take the risk, it was an attractive alternative to airline flying.
Now however, biz-jet pay has fallen well behind even short haul airline flying, and it is no longer a sensible career path.

I agree with Joe. I stated in 2001 on £300 a day. It improved a lot, but then fell back to......£300 a day.
Many people do it as a bit of paid fun on the side.
I love the job, but if I had a family, we'd be living on benefits or in Liverpool.

winkwink,
a number thrown out like that does not mean anything.
What type of aircraft? Full time, freelance?
You can still find good jobs, a lot depends on the type flown, but is true that many companies are bringing down the market (Vistajet, etc) Austrian, German and yes UK companies in general

Bizz Jet Pay and conditions UK
Two words...move abroad!! Pay and conditions working for some of the bigger outfits in the UK and Europe is terrible with the smaller guys paying even less. They pay far less than they should and don't place much emphasis on experience when it comes to pay. Searching and right now it seems I would have to take something akin to my starting salary after eights years of flying all over the shop. It's a disgrace really. If you want to get into bizjets...you will need to look east for a decent salary.
