Great pay! Earnings of airline pilots are among the highest in the Nation. (According to the Future Aviation Professionals of America) Some senior captains on the largest aircraft earned as much as $200,000 a year. In addition, pilots receive an expense allowance, or "per diem", for every hour they are away from home. Per diem can represent up to $500 each month in addition to their salary. As an additional benefit, pilots and their immediate families usually are entitled to free or reduced fare transportation on their own and other airlines |
