Highest Paid Corporate pilots in Canada?

[Gooddog]

This thread got hijacked.

I’m pretty sure them Irving boys are north of 200 as well and you get a pension.

[kilocharliemike]

A little bit of thread drift here.I am the lowest.

I am the lowest...

Why is every company in Canada a stepping stone. Isn't there room for companies where people actually want to stay?

And there are no, absolutely no shit hole flying companies in the USA?

You guys are living on another planet if you think every flying job in the USA pays well with good conditions.

[Pratt X 3]

I have no skin in the (corporate) game, but I applaud you for your transparency.

More translucent than transparent.

Props to Airsprint for being so open. And honestly that's not a bad salary.
The highest I have seen was a 703 guy making around 600K.
And the lowest I seen was 28K.

No typo, as a first year f/o at that company you will make around 100K. And the highest paid captain gets around 600K.

Time to work together here. Let's all apply to the companies that start with the same letter as our avcanada usernames and report back.

Haha not likely, I will carpet bomb every operator on that list and offer to do it for 500...thousand that is. Just have to watch out for the real scum who would do it for 400,000.

[LTR123]

No, the $600K salary is for real. Those guys make huge amounts of money doing private charter and they do really cool trips with great overnights. Right now I hear they're staying at a nice government resort in the Dominican Republic.

[Minimums]

That's interesting, I thought AirSprint pilots had a pretty good gig.

Depends on how you look at it. They drive machinery that seems pretty well maintained, newer, and probably a more secure job than most small corporate operations. However, everyone I’ve seen lately is crabby, black eyed and seemingly living off a diet of subway or tim hortons. A lot of them complain of working several long duty days in a row followed by minimum rest nights flying 4-5-6-7 sectors every day. Easy for a regional pilot where everything is done for them (you just fly plane), but when you’re in charge of customs, flight planning, deicing, catering, deicing and everything else, for multiple pax, multiple days in a row, it’s not a wonder they look like they do.

Matter of fact, I’m not sure how transport hasn’t caught on to them. Either they are all superhuman and never fatigued (the walking zombie look is just for show maybe), or they aren’t reporting it. I’m certain if a certain airline’s crews looked as wiped out as these guys are on a regular basis they’d be investigated.

Probably a great place to get some hours up in a light jet, but be prepared to work you’re tail off. Although beaten daily, they do seem a professional bunch, never skipping a deice or pulling stupid moves (that I’ve seen anyway), so likely a good place to build a foundation in that regard.

"or pulling stupid moves"
As long as you don't count racing onto a congested customs ramp, doing a half throttle spin about and firing rocks into another airplanes engines causing the crew to shut them down. Did they teach that at Airsprint University?

Flexjet is one of the best paying fractional operator if not the best... There are plenty of corporate pilots in the USA that don't even come close to those salaries.

It's not all about the money, but the love of flying for many.
If it was about the money, people would have their own business.

No, absolutely no!

Yes I got into the flying business as a line boy at a local flying school when I was 14 years old and got the bug right away.

At 15 I was already taking my flying courses and had to wait until I was 16 to do my first solo and finish my private license.

Anyway as a professional pilot, I expect to get very well paid for what I do and although I still love going to fly the corporations business jets I don't want the "love factor" to come between me and a good pay check.

There is no other profession with highly skilled people I know of that get so underpaid and have to go through testing upon testing, some every 6 months in the simulator with a real risk of losing one’s job, then there are all these on-line courses you need to do every year and let us not forget the medical, again every 6 months for some.

No doctor, lawyer, police officer, or others have to go through this process year after year.

So yes I love flying but that's just a bonus when you are earning a living as a pilot.

[‘Bob’]

Has any pilot ever been fired because they blew a recurrent? For something other than gross negligence or gross incompetence that would get you fired from any other job?

One day of catching up on medical journals would likely break the pilot who whines about recurrent CBT.

McCains and Irving in New Brunswick pay very well upwards off $200K

Sooooo…. $80k takehome???

Exactly Bob Canada punishes successful people , we are overtaxed and it’s making people making good wages look outside the country for work.

Or… you could work in a province that doesn’t tax you as much.

Be careful where you go. A quick look at a payroll calculator has you paying as much or even more tax in some US states. They also have other taxes.. like surprisingly high real estate and sales taxes in some parts.

Europe?

Anywhere else in the world you’re going to have to very carefully weight other things. Like getting shot in Brazil or having your money become (really) valueless in Argentina or crazy geopolitics and corruption and lifestyle elsewhere that would make you beg for the Canadian political party you hate the most in comparison.

One has to remember too that wages are based on supply and demand. It’s really easy to think you’re worth that 200k… but if taxes disappeared, wages would definitely be adjusted accordingly.

A place like the USA is enjoying higher wages for pilots because of the 1500 hour rule for airlines. They are drowning the puppies as fast as they come out of the mills. You ask pilots before that. It was like $29k a year to fly a CRJ or ERJ and guys like Sully after a lifetime of flying were taking furloughs and pay cuts. In Europe it’s limited by P2F. You can make good money, but you’d better be typed.

There’s no easier place than Canada to become a pilot. Thus, wages are low. You are enviously looking at the elite of other countries who belong to a club you very well might be excluded from if things were the same here.
