The plan was to join an operator based in Europe therefore the Legacy seemed like a decent aircraft to move to, I have no desire to fly a Nextant with a cramped cockpit, small cabin, no real bathroom, no apu or pressure refuelling.

That is what I meant by being trapped, on a smaller biz jet type with no guarantee of moving back to the larger type.

Fair enough but you will move up in 2 years at the very most. The new aircraft start coming next year and from what I understand they are looking at the new Gulfstreams and Embraer Praetors.

Nextant pilots will also be offered the first upgrades. I think it could be a very good gig.

I think joining at this point in time, with the market being in a vulnerable position, is a gamble. If you got nothing to lose, yes, go there. If you have a good and safe job, do not.

I agree with EatMyShorts!

​​​​​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?

Definitely not embarrassing! Decent pay and packager over all on offer.

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 29th Oct 2019 08:31

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.
