Question

How much does a commerical airline pilot get paid?

Answer 1

Regional airlines on turbo props start at around 24k and up. Just depends on your experience and ratings.

Answer 2

$80K-120K

Answer 3

anywhere from 35k to 275k

Answer 4

$100-$500

Answer 5

I can only base this on Southwest Airlines.

Average First Officer Pay: $110,000

Average Captain Pay: $220,000

The pay chart starts at first year to max 12 years.  SWA pilots as are all commercial pilots are limited to 1,000 hours/year.  This puts the pay ranges at:

First Officer $50,000-$170,000

Captains     $200,000-$350,000

The people at the top end of the scale have no life but the ability to make that amount is certainly available.

Answer 6

It depends on the plane and the years they have been flying.

Regionals start under $20k, almost everyone starts there, and they work up to about $60k as a captain of a larger aircraft.

Copilots in large airlines start at about $80k, and some get up to $120. Captains start at about $100k, even a 737 captain makes about $110k. Captains on aircraft like the 747 and 777 can make considerably more, but not always.

Answer 7

Depends on everything the airlines... I heard they pay by hours of flight.

Answer 8

About $80K-120K a year depending on tenure.
