Everyone on this forum has faced this issue before:
You are flying for an owner on two different large jets and are required to do charter also.
Your flight dept could easily be a career company if they only treated you better; as in ACCEPTABLE QUALITY OF LIFE better.
They can certainly afford to do it, they just don't offer. Now it's time to ask for a raise, better flying schedule, days off, etc.
You are not worried if you hav to leave this job, so shooting high and asking for everything is the plan.
I am hoping I could get some comments on the following list as to any points i might be missing:
Pay increase
Annual COLA raise
Cap on flying days/month
Limiting the 135 flying to only one of the types
Restricting back to back long trips without sufficient rest in between.
This company runs my ass ragged. 20 days/mo avg. A big salary is meaningless if I am never home. I think its worth pushing for before deciding to leave. They are a good group.
Any suggestions would help.
