I assure you they could care less if you get it or not. Either the juice is worth the squeeze for someone or it’s not. If a king air driver is able to handle the pay cut to ensure larger future earnings, good on them. If not. Oh well, enjoy your king air and the earning ceiling it brings. A pilot going to jazz and eventually AC through the PML today can realistically look at earning 150+ a year within 4 or 5 years. Nevermind the higher earnings once you graduate off narrowbody in time. If that’s what one chooses to do.rigpiggy wrote:I will admit my sentence structure can be a bit cryptic, oldncold and JBI got the gist. I fly several kingairs, turboprops, and medium pistons.

Doesn’t work for you? Fair enough. Works for someone else? Even better.

I think the OP is agreeing with you. He's suggesting that posting a job ad for a light twin for 50k and higher experience levels is not a job that they'll get a lot of applicants and/or pilots that they'll keep. Pilots who have the time that they are (were?) looking for would be better off pursuing Jazz or similar as you outline above.atphat wrote:I assure you they could care less if you get it or not.
