Starting pay in a Challenger 350 is anywhere between 125 and 150 for an untyped pilot. I don't know where you're getting 200 from. LOL

I'm a Challenger 300 pilot.

300 CAM and pay both of my captains north of $200k going into year 3. Sorry but $125-$150k is abysmally low.
 
NYC Metro, 91, everyone is a trip captain. Last hire was not typed Y1 $167 Y2 $180 Y3 $194 +$20k year end bonus.

IF I were bringing on a new pilot today (2022) I would fully expect to be paying a base of $190-200k Y1 before bonus. Personally I wouldn't stick around for less than that so why would they?

Ok, thanks.

Not sure a NYC Part 91 captain position is a fair comparison to a fractional first officer, but I live mid-country so may have a different perspective.

What region are you in? That certainly isn't the pay in South Florida and that is also well above average. I am also a 300 CAM.

Yup. That's what I suspected also. You may be pushing 200k in the Northeast and out in California. But is rare everywhere else.

You're not making $125k first year @ a legacy. Seriously I see job postings on Indeed for midsized business jets all the time. Starting day one. $120-150k.

Again news to me. My first year at my airline I was in that range. Sure, there are some airlines where first year is $50, but the folks know that going in; well, second year more than makes up for first years deficits, not to mention the DC, pension and so on.

I was talking 1st year pay.
 
My opinion, if you can get on with Flexjet at your current total, go for it. You'll get a useful type rating, starting pay is $100k plus incentives, and you'll be earning time a lot faster than if you found a local gig flying for a management company. You need total time to be competitive for your next position.
