AirComp Calculator

AirComp Calculator is a compensation analysis service for business aviation. It is headquartered in Dallas, Texas, and is veteran owned. The company was founded in 2020. Its website calls it business aviation's only online compensation analysis system.

The service gives pay reports adjusted for region. Users can check their own pay or a job offer against the market. Flight departments, aircraft management firms and HR teams can get market comparisons to set or review pay for their staff.

Reports cover 21 positions, 9 aircraft classes and more than 80 US metro markets. Pilots, maintenance professionals, flight attendants, schedulers and aviation managers use the service. Staffing companies and HR teams use it to benchmark pay and plan budgets.

The numbers come from three surveys: the NBAA survey, the Gallagher survey, and the Pearl Meyer and IBM survey. The company weights them by position and matches them to the right aircraft class. It tunes them to local labor markets with US Bureau of Labor Statistics data, and it ages them forward with five-year growth factors.

The founder is a Certified Compensation Professional and a CAM Fellow, with more than 40 years of aviation experience. He is a former Air Force fighter pilot who flew the A-10 and F-16. He has led NBAA research on retention, compensation and leadership since 2017.

Individual reports include AirComp Navigator Standard and Navigator Plus, which add long-term incentives. Team reports include AirComp Calculator Standard and Plus. Customers can download a report or add a concierge review with the founder. Custom compensation studies and consulting are also offered.

The site shows client comments about job offers and salary increases. It also lists two business aviation books and a podcast called The Flight Department Show.
