Box hauling pilots usually get paid more because it is defitnetly a much harder life, but as you mentioned, you have "extra responsibilites". That airplane is your baby, you should definetly be making what the Airnet guys make.... if you ask for a raise, just be humble and explain the situation
You should definitely be making more than an airnet pilot.
Box hauling pilots in Barons get paid crap because they are simply building lots of hours to the next step - you aren't.
You should easily make 40-50k+ flying a corporate Baron, but at that level salaries are very negotiable.

I just got laid off from the best flying job I've ever had, an all part 91 corporate Baron G58. I mainly worked M-F with some weekends, RON 4-5 times per year. I was the sole full time pilot in the Baron with 1-2 contract pilots for backup. I also coordinated some of the maintenance all for a salary plus benefits of $65k. The contract pilots were paid $350 per day. It would have been a perfect time building job if I needed multi-time, as I flew about 800-900 hrs per year. Many days had 6-8 legs with upwards of 10-12 on some of the insane days. Like it was mentioned earlier, you should be getting around 40k or better. I did the regionals in a Saab many years ago, fun yes, but stay were your at as long as you can!

thanks for all the input guys. I can definitely see why I shouldn't be in a hurry to move on to something else; I'm really enjoying the type of flying I am doing. However, with my longterm goals in mind, it is difficult to know if I should pursue something where I will have a chance of getting turbine/jet PIC time. Obviously, I am currently logging multi pic, but how much will that help me in getting to any of the top tier companies (delta, netjets, etc.)?

JJOHS122, it sounds like you are in a job where your management treat you with respect. I trust you covered by the company’s health and retirement plan… probably better than what you would get at the airlines.
Stay where you are until you find another corporate job that operates turbine, as this is the type of powerplant operation your prospective airline will be looking for. However, in reviewing threads on this web site, you will see that the regionals and majors are not the place you want to be just yet. Who knows, there may be a turbo prop in your future at your current company.
Either way… good luck with your career and don’t make any drastic moves.

This guy is single-pilot in a demanding aircraft, he's taking care of all the leg-work outside of the flying, so I think he's got a future as long as he keeps his head up and eyes open.
Just keep plugging on, build your time and connections. Even w/o those, maybe your company will want to make the step up to turbine in the future, and you can guide them along the way, but for now I'd say you got a decent gig. Good Luck

If going to a major or fractional is your goal, then you're going to have to move on, unfortunately

I would be careful when asking for a raise..don't get me wrong, I think pilots are wayyy under-paid in "small-time" jobs..but there's probably at least 1000 other guys out there that would do your job for half the money..the owner has a lot of leverage on you because of that. If you have a great personal relationship with the guy, you might be able to get some more money though..
Good luck, and happy landings!
