Swedish military
As a pilot in the Swedish armed forces (fixed wing or heli, same same) you start at 38 000 SEK (about 5600USD) per month. After tax you get about 4500USD. Each year you get a raise of about 110USD, no more, no less. When reaching 1000hrs, after about 8 years or so, you would typically earn about 7600USD (before tax). Of course you also have loss of license, pension and healthcare etc. Loss of license in this case means that you are offered other jobs within the Air Force, for example as a planning officer or you can specialise in Personel recovery, countermeasures (chaff+flares) and so on. You would in this case keep your salary, earning as much as you would flying.
