How would you describe a pilots salary?

[bobbs b]

Ezz 17 is completely correct.

I do however want to clarify a few things. When he says credit hour, he really means block hour which is from parking brake release on pushback to parking break set when arriving at the gate. Therefore when the crew goes down to the plane before you (passengers) board guess who is not being paid. Pilots have many checks to accomplish before the passengers board and also must load flight plans. So, while a pilot may only fly 90 hours a month, they work much longer. Please don't begin to think that pilots are as well compensated as they deserve to be. A pilot's salary is medium at best unless you are in the top 2% of all pilots. I know a lot of managers that make the same or more than avg. pilots and are home every night.
