Jobs that let you work less, earn more.

Rasie your hand if you work 23.5 hrs a week and clear $119K

I clear 23.5K, does that count?

Add 80 hrs yr for jepps 2-3 quarterly for recurrent , the 5 or so hours daily airport appreciation time. And my commute ( my choice). I bet I come in under the tree pruner's salary.

So the average pilot works less than 25 hours/week and makes 6 figures?

Also, define "work"...

You forgot copilots and flight engineers, they're part of the figure too.

You guys have to realize that this was not just published for regional pilots, it is across the entire industry.

There are as many or more regional pilots than mainline pilots now though

He means the entire industry. They listed it as "aircraft pilot". This goes for freight, charter, etc. as well. Not just the airlines.

I fully understand that. But these numbers include NetJets, 91 operators, large corporate departments, high net worth individuals departments, mainline, and cargo pilots. Regional pilots are the lowest paid of the bunch, so while the numbers may seem way out of line to you, they in fact are not that out of line.

So even so... What is work? Obviously they don't count sitting around on company time work, just flying as work. Not exactly a fair way to look at it.

 

[siucavflight]

Thats the other part of it OCP, I would consider all time being away as home as work. So even though I may only fly 20-40 hours a month I still find myself away from home for up to 120 hours a month.
