What does the pay range look like for pilots that fly for US airlines? I'm interested to see the breakdown for different airline companies and how the salary can progress with seniority. Thanks!

I have talked with a friend that flies with my son about careers. The regional pay crap. You make good money when you fly international and have seniority Love to see more numbers on what I have heard
Not true about international being the only high paying. It's a widely known fact that Southwest pilots have historically been the highest paid pilots in the industry despite largely flying domestic routes.
Highest paid domestic. I international pilots and cabin are 300k-350k Sw isn’t paying that
I don’t work in aviation, but have pilot friends. At the big airlines, you would make about $150 an hour from brakes off to brakes on, which is how flight crew are paid. You would have to get some seniority in your base to get the best routes (e.g. 2 10 hour legs to South America rather than 3 shorter flights a day for 2-3 days to get the same amount of hours). I hope that helps.
My bud flies 12 days a month and is nearly at 350k. Does a ferry flight to bring back a 747 from China and it alone was 14k
@ecuuoK I know Alaska starts at like $90 an hour and tops out at like $266 an hour after 12 years. 70-80 hours a month on average.
How has the pay for pilots changed due to pay?
