Pilots salary in uk?

Question

I'm 13 and want to be a pilot but do pilots (the captain) get paid per flight,daily,monthly or yearly and the bigger the plane the bigger the salary? also could you give me a average yearly salary for british airways,american airlines and emirates this would help so much and it needs to be in pounds as i am in the uk.

Answer 1

It does depend on the type and size of aircraft you want to fly.  A single engine plane handles different than a twin engine Lear Jet, which are different than a twin engined propeller aircraft, to a four engined 747 or Airbus.  The bigger the aircraft the larger the salary.  You might consider joining your military as that will give you experience in flying the big multi-engine cargo and troop carrier planes.  You might have to train on smaller airplanes and short routes at first.

A 747 pilot makes about 100 grand or more = 56,078 Pounds a year salary.  The three engined DC-10 is probably a good bet too, that aircraft while smaller than a 747 is still a big airplane.
