What is the highest pilot sallary in the world?

Earning US$ 20,000/mo and spending US$ 5,000/mo rent...

Is same as earning US$ 10,000/mo and spending US$ 2,500/mo rent...

You have got to think of cost of living, and quality of life...

Straight figures (subject to variable exchange rates) mean ... nothing -

In 1982-83 - I was paid in US$, which was worth twice as much as 25 years later...!

I would say - you can live like a king in Bombay/Mumbai area with US$ 5,000/mo -

Beautiful house with 12 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms, 4 servants, a cook and a driver -

Then the other question is, what is your income tax - 25% or 60% of gross income...?

Then you have to think of the benefits -

In the Middle East, salaries are not that high at all -

However they offer housing and schooling for kids from age 5 through high school -

And they have generous retirement plans and medical benefits -

And in most Arab nations, salaries are tax free -

Sallary...? - Are you sure it does not spell with two "R"... ?

I think the answer to that is not which airline, but rather, what do they fly. Military pilots that operate the top aircraft probably earn the most, but in terms of commercial airlines, Cathay Pacific pilots earn the most, senior pilots of Cathay Pacific can earn 300,000+ USD a year.

My guess would be those middle east pilots. If these sheikhs can afford to buy a f....ing Jetliner then that gives an idea of what their pilots would earn. :-)

The highest I've ever heard of was 360,000 dollars american per year.
