The AP just ran a story on this last week. Big airline pilots make more of course, the article said something like 250K. Smaller airline pilots make less, under 100K, and tend to fly a lot more.

Do you mean a military pilot or commercial airline pilot?
Their pay is reasonable, but not high. You have to consider the amount of education they have, the hours they work and the time away from family, too. |

Low, people dont realize that for what the cost and time it takes to become a pilot, if they do not go through the military figure most pilots are in big debt because of the training cost say around $40k, and now a days Airlines dont pay like they use to.
Right now a pilot for say a regional airline A FO makes between $15-$25 a credit hour A Captain makes anywhere from $30-$90 a credit hour Now when you are flying for the big boys it will jump to around a FO will make around $70-$130 a credit hour a Captain will make around $150-$200 a credit hour Now Freight Company like UPS and FedEx are the highest paying jobs for a pilot in business. Unless you are privately hired and making more but thats unlikely. Now you think they are making a lot of money, but realize pilots dont work 160 hour months or 40hour weeks. But instead thier pay is determined by credit hour, which is the expected time that they are in command of the aircraft. So a pilot is usually guarenteed 75 hours but they cannot fly over 120 hours in a month. But the differences are tremendous and think to become Captain of a large airliner takes a very long time. So its a fairly good job when you make it to the big leagues which you can easily make over $100k but to get there most pilots arent making very good money at all. Plus there is no job security now a days and the pensions are anything like they used to be. |

Low to high.
A friend of mine started at Continental Express and made less than the poverty level for the first two years he flew as the co-pilot. This was after years of flying even worse jobs for even less pay. Since then he has worked his way up to the 737 and finally the 757 as a co-pilot. He is making good money now but it took him years of hard work at meager wages and silly hours to get where he is now. |
