Left seat or right seat? Okay for the right seat but would suck for the left seat. As this firm is competing for qualified pilots that are in short supply, they will be paying the market rate for the guy or girl in the left seat. The guy or lady in the right seat is just building time in type to move to the left seat. That is just the way it works. Right seat semi sucks, left seat is where the money is once one is piloting heavy metal.
ps
I was on an Alligeant Charter Flight once. The captain was an ex Space Shuttle Pilot and on other flights the commander. Mostly white hair on this gentleman. The rules for 65 years old ATP are different for charter flights and the pilot can be older than the mandatory 65 years for retirement.
I had the luxury of chatting with this gentleman for a few minutes after landing. I may have had the best pilot in the air that day. I did ask him about his log book and how to log space flight. I really did not understand the answer. I do not think it is in the FARs.
He was a very nice man.
Great story. Thanks.
