Thank you all for your replies.
Darkrromsource: Could you elaborate on your reply? How much do pilots earn on average then? When I say I earn a decent salary it's about 36K plus bonus and profit share which bumps it up to around 40K.
After speaking to some current commercial pilots I was under the impresion that the salaries are as follows:
First officer: 45K + flying pay
Captain: 70K + flying pay
Obviously this will vary depending on airline, with easy jet paying less and ba paying more. Am I wrong?
Thanks.
