You seriously think this a fair offer and a reasonable salary for somebody that has a 100.000 Euro education? The PC-24 typerating is costing NOTHING to the owner as the airplane comes with 3 free typeratings from Pilatus. The 4 landings for the basetraining cost probably 2500 euro for the 30-45 minutes of flying. A 25000 Euro bonding would be on the high side for this project with 15000 to 20000 more realistic.

And as for the best bonding, why not pay a fair pilot salary and give good conditions. Works so much better then forcing people to stay.

But everybody gets what they deserve. Flying group a bunch of desperate pilots and you probably a ****ty career. I feel sorry for you.

I´ll echo to that! The low conditions offered by Flying Group in this particular case seems to have been aimed at just attracting a relatively inexperienced Captain (a beginner). It´s been voiced that FG have been able to attract a very experienced pilot for this position, however with the offered conditions, I doubt the new hire will be retained for long - as the aviation industry picks up. Recruitment and retention - somebody will have to pay. The owner will only realize this as he gains experience having his shiny jet. FG fouled him.

Wow... that sounds a lot like the offer I received from another western european company last week - 5000€ gross and 75€ per diem for a PIC on a medium jet where I should also do Line Training for fresh FOs straight from flight school and zero jet experience for...

Had the same thing myself , 5k offer gross which netted out at 3200 , some per diems 80 of 100 euro I think , and a ******* stupid bond of 70k . I was an unemployed heavy jet pilot for 1 year with approx 15k hours .Decided I keep doing the gardening . 2 weeks later rehired back on the 777. I did subsequently discover that these bonds aren’t worth the paper they are written on , unenforceable under EU law , refuse to pay , and no court will make you pay it .
would still love to experience private jet work at some stage though .
