I wasn't trying to make it a link just putting the information out there.

Thanks for posting!

Definitely not the most reputable of places. Last I heard their " negotiable salary" for the Lear was $250/week. They hire SJSers at low time because they know they will take the terrible pay.

Shiny Jet Syndrome'ers. Low timers that would kill for a chance to fly a jet.

While $250 a day is miserable at best, low timers aren't really in the position to negotiate good pay flying anything.

I believe he said $250 a week…

Thats what I meant and apparently I don't know how to edit via tapatalk!

And no offense, I don't mean you have to take it up the rear for a job, just saying in a broad sense that the more experience one has = greater leverage on pay.

Really isn't an excuse. There are far better paying jobs for low timers available. No need to go work for a pittance just so you can fly a jet.

The airframe should dictate the pay for the most part. I can understand an excess of experience can warrant extra money, but a line needs to drawn somewhere for going to the low end of the pay scale. Lear FOs typically make 35-40k a year. I don't care what someone's experience is, there is no excuse to take a jet job that only pays $13K/year. It only undermines the people that have built their careers on flying similar equipment.

100% agreed. I really wasn't adding anything to this thread other then laughing at 250 a week.

I wouldn't exactly call the Lear an "entry level" jet either...

It isn't. And I would never dream of accepting any job where I would make 250 a week. That is nuts.

 

[cmhumphr]

What's the minimums? Just curious.

Commercial/multi/instrument...that's it

 

[HVYMETALDRVR]

I know a couple alums from there... Apparently they're equipment is pretty beat also.
