I know several pilots who are millionares...but not through flying Im afraid!
In the UK at the moment Id be more concerned about getting a job in the first place. The average 200hr pilot will be earning £10 an hour as a flight instructor. In 3-4 years if he is lucky, be will fly a turbo prop for £20k pa as an FO/SO Captaincy in another 2-3 years and up to a staggering £40k. Then if lucky a move to the majors and a jet job.
The FEW lucky pilots are the ones with the majors on the jets and as an FO may earn £50k pa and after a few years £80k pa as a Captain.
Dont do it for the money OR the glamour (there isnt any) do it because its what you want to do...that way if the wages arnt what people commonly think in civi street at least your doing a job you enjoy.
