Jet Aviation, BE200 PIC, Based KDAL
Just got raised to 55000.00/yr $USA. Previous rate 36000.00/yr $USA. Management finaly climbed off the bucks after recent takeover (formerly Jet East Inc.)
Gulfstreams and Canadairs coming soon, another big pay increase. Maybe I won't go to Polar Air Cargo (B747FO) after all. Will sleep on it.

last job- corporate 727 FE. $US 3000 pm "tax free", only averaged 25 hrs per month flight time and LOTS of standby/on call duty. No benefits package at all, but very good hotels and fairly generous "cash in envelope" bonuses (About $ 6000 pa.)
Made redundant, so currently earning £ZERO from aviation!!

JMC Bus Capt, been with company 7 years in all it's previous guises, £4000 + 300ish per mnth duty pay. Vitually no flying in the winter coz most of the fleet is in the US on contract.
Final salary pension, good holiday concessions, six weeks leave p.a. loss of licence and PHI paid by company.
Looking at the recently published BALPA pay schedules it looks like we're pretty much top of the UK charter sector - anyone know better?

BAE 146-in the UK.. take home around £2050 per month inc. duty pay.Pension is good but i don't think many of us intend to stay long enough to get the benefits. Averaged 700 hrs per year, 6-8 nights away each month. Pants management great crews, fun aeroplane! Morale very low but the Esacape Committee is active in helping you "under "the fence and across the river to freedom... well.. a better job anyway. Oh, forgot to mention the horrendous bonds we have to sign, crap crewing, crap OPS, management as useful as a chocolate tea pot but great hosties!!
Any chance of ALPA taking over BALPA!!hehe!
