airline pilot wages

Most US Major airline pilots earn between $120,000 and $350,000 base salary a year, and some as little as $80,000 and as much as $450,000 depending on how much seniority they have, how much “over time” the elect to work and other factors.. The job is almost entirely based on seniority and most airlines have a 12 year pay scale that automatically grants you a pay raise every year. Airline pilot unions also re-negotiate their wages a about every 3–5 years and get something on the order of 15–20% wage increases. Also, most of these major airlines will also contribute 15% into your 401K (not match, but actually contribute).. so this adds to the day package. Some airlines, such as Hawaiian also have a large VEBA medical account for retirement ($188,000 in 2018 dollars), that index for inflation and will support your medical co-pays and expenses after the mandatory age 65 retirement.
