Stand by…reminder Pilot are only paid for flight hours thus once the door closes and the plane is moving.
Per a couple of searches a regional pilot can only work a max of 1,000 per year with a typical year being 700 hours of flight time.
Sure this is a decent wage but it is far from the top.
A top pilot earning $161 per hour only flying 700 hours gross pay is $112,700.
This is a good job and I wish I had it but let’s not get carried away thinking these pilots are paid over the top.
