Salary is definitely a big factor for pilot retention, but certainly not the only one. A reliable schedule is a very important issue for us, as time away from our families is time we will never recoup. I have only worked for one ‘corporate’ flight department where we were treated like an on call commodity. It was the worst experience of my career, and nearly ended my marriage. I left that position, and went to the airlines. Best decision ever, even with an initial decrease in salary.
For a business owner, deals that require travel don't always come about on a predictable schedule. What are some things the business owner can do to balance that with the need for the pilots to have a predictable, stable home life?
So let's schedule the emergency patients in a hosptial so that doctors can have 9-5 jobs. Doesn't work that way. In the case of private jet pilots, you provide them with a proper salary and benefits package. Second, instead of hiring 2 pilots always "on call", you hire 4 pilots so that they can rotate so that a couple them can normally count on time off. It's not for everyone. Airlines do have a more stable schedule. Doctors can find 9-5 jobs too if that is what they want.
350k plus benefits a year is nice, I always wondered how the pilot gets paid and if they are on stand by.Like you said there a big part of the flight so it's good to make sure everyone is happy. And yeah 20million for a plane you can afford to give 350k ×10=3,500,000 10being 10 years.Huge differents so dont be cheap and pay your pilot's or learn to fly yourself.
Very accurate. It is a wage and training issue. Not a shortage issue.

Family first has always been my foundation too. I have seen so many pilots end up divorcing and it is a sad thing to see.

This video talks about high end salaries. What about middle and low end... both in terms of career and size of aircraft.
The safety record is worst on a private jet? The only time I have heard that is by people that lump private jets in with all of general aviation.
