How much do airlines pay their pilots? Not enough- j/kThis is not an absoulte number, as it based on type of aircraft they fly, the structure of the pay scales, senoirty, and willingness of the pilot to work. Most companies have a guantee pay, such as 55.00 an hr, with a 30 hr a month guantree. This is not set in stone, so if you fly over this, you make more, and you can get paid for being on call, standy, being laid over somewhere, selling your days off, so it depends on pilots. Average salary for a FO is around 35-45k for commuter airlines. Capt is around 50-90 depending on senoirty and type of aicraft they are flying. Major airlines- about 50-70k for a FO, and anywhere from 75-300k for capt. |
