Left seat pay for King Air

Rex · Post by **Rex** » Mon Jun 26, 2006 5:43 am

Just curious what the range is for left seat on a King Air or similar turbine (i.e. light). I'm with an outfit that pays 36K flat a year for both charter and medevac operations. Like to hear for the right seat as well (24K for our company). Appreciate your input. Thanks.

i think you're not getting paid enough. i was making $56,000.00, plus per diem, plus benefits and lived rent free because i took care of the crew house. all that for flying a king air 100a.

we were busy though. i did almost 800 hours per year. the above was base pay plus mileage etc.

our captains on the

mu-2, first year are about 50K it goes up there after evey year.
kingair, first year are about 47K also goes up there after.

first officers are around 28K continuous, upgrades are pretty quick so they keep pay constant.

operations on mu2 is about 95% medivac, on the king air is 95% charters.

hope this helps.

A company I used to fly for paid captains between 55-65k/yr depending on how long you've been with the company plus per diems. Schedule was 2 weeks on, 1 off. FO's made about 35k/yr plus per diems.

36k seems pretty low.

36k? wow our F/O's can make almost as much if they have a busy season...

cheers

Voyageur Airways had that pay scale (36K for capt and 24K for FO) for their King Air A100's

This F/O makes 34,000. So I would say your underpaid as captain big time!!!

Single pilot 50-60 K would be a minimum since you'd want to hire someone with good time on type and aren't going to get someone for less.

2 Pilot the range seems to be from. 36-60K.

Most companies in AB worth their salt pay around 50K or at least give room to move up to there on the pay scale if you stick around long enough to max it out. On BE10's benefits seem non existent so if you're looking to woo people away from where they are, I'd suggest paying medical, dental, optical, and contruibuting to RRSP's at say 3-5% range.

Right seat the range seems to be 24-36K. I have yet to hear of anyone paying more than this. Usually it's somewhere in there with pre diems, flight pay, mileage, or some combination of them.
