​​​​​So has anything been made public yet regarding salary and terms or is it another load of hot air.

Crew all aware. Definitely not hot air. I guess none are prepared to post on a public forum though!

Usually a sign of contentment?

Great - looking forward to someone spilling the sacred beans at some point

We all have different perspectives on what is “fair”. The common logic is that if you’re commanding a Nextant or EMB there is only that much you can expect to demand in CoS - not quite the same as say a G650 Captain would pull home. If you want the best and those with experience - you need to reward accordingly. Let’s see what this outfit is up too. I’m not holding my breath.

For the record, that´s the old deal: Flexjet Europe pilot jobs, payscales and entry requirements.

Cpt £ 55K
F/O £ 26K

Can anybody be bothered to update ppjn?

Holy cr@p. What do they pay their pilots? I didn’t realise cabin crew had similar ranks to flight deck crew these days.

Wow, I was earning that flying a Citation 20 years ago surely those figures cannot be for 2019 ?

[Skyshare]

It seams the new salary on the Legacy will be 103.040 euro gross with 15-15 roster (78400 on the bloody Nextant)...... per diem 35 pounds and on Company Credit card for all meals. Payrise 5000 euro gross every year. 10% annual bonus on annual gross salary.

I think this is a subtle 'lost in translation' perhaps from a non-native English speaker.

Maybe he mean "this is the old deal"

I'm sure they won't be paying Captains less than the flight attendants on my previous operation.

If true those figures are very low compared to the majority of business jet operators out there.

Compared to which operators? Flexjet has to be compared to other similar outfits that carry the cost of a large organisation in the background like NetJets and VistaJet. Netjets captain's salary is around 100 000 EUR I guess and for VistaJet it ranges from 84000 - 96000 EUR depending on fleet type. It's not fair to compare salaries with owner jobs where the owner often pays the crew directly. That said I do agree that the salaries seems to be on the lower range but what else to expect in Europe? Compared to similar outfits this seems to be the highest payer. The GA sector is much behind most large airlines. So I guess FlexJet has to rely on the flying school VistaJet which gladly will feed them with crews.

Is 15/15 including the proceeding days? Otherwise it just turns into another 17/13 roster... 35 pounds of per diems sounds like they taken straight from Vistajet. How about training on your 15/15 or on your off days? Holidays?

[Skyshare]

15-15 (proceeding on day 1 and 15)... 35 pounds per diem but all meals on Company Credit Card (so you don’t spend your per diem)... 28 days vacation days on top on your days OFF. Training during your 15 days ON.
