[QUOTE="Ricochet1a, post: 868013, member: 22880"] The three highest paid group of airline pilots for US airlines are the pilots of UPS, Express and Southwest Airlines. FedEx and UPS vie for the top position. Wide body Captains with some years under their belt clear just over $200,000 a year, plus per diem and other payments. First Officers average around $120,000/yr, with starting pay around $70,000 and progressing initially rapidly, then steadily to about $150,000/yr. Southwest Captains top out just under $200,000/yr. Their FO pay is somewhat less than FedEx and UPS. This compensation EXCLUDES payments into pension plans and health insurance benefits. Southwest aircrew also receive a number of comp flying passes each year to use as they desire. The contract feeder pilots don't make squat compared to this. They are flying to either build hours to get into an airline, or to have a predictable job. [/QUOTE]
