>>2048380>>$226,600 / 1,400 hours = 161.86 $/hr>>161.86 $/hr x 10hr = $1,618.60It's a LOT more complicated than that, my dad is an airline pilot and he tells me about his contract stuff. It's fucking complicated, don't quote me on what I'm about to say because some of it is probably wrong, I just can't keep track of it all. Basically, there's "flying time" which is everything between the gate pushing back and parking at the destination gate, and that has a very high rate per hour. HOWEVER that doesn't count all the prep work pilots do like studying weather charts, airport maps, airplane walk-arounds, etc. BUT they get paid a bit for that now (though that's new). THEN there's another pay rate when they get stuck on the runway for bad weather or something. AND they're guaranteed a certain minimum for a "day of work" (don't ask me what exactly constitutes that, idfk). There's also layover time, I think there's some kind of allowance for food and hotels when you're hanging out in a city between flights, and I know there's different hotels depending on how long the layover is. And THAT doesn't even count "add-pay" when a pilot basically picks up a trip that another pilot dropped because sick, couldn't legally work that many hours, incoming plane broke down, etc.
Bottom line, pilots' salaries are FUCKING complicated.
