The Professional Pilot Magazine 2026 Salary Study is officially out. This year, we’re seeing a steady 3% growth in pilot compensation, heavily influenced by aircraft type, flight hours, and credentials like CAM qualifications.
With major airlines eagerly recruiting to replace retiring crew, corporate aviation departments are fighting back. It’s no longer just about the base pay—flight departments are packing compensation packages with premium benefits like profit sharing, loss-of-license insurance, retirement plans, and better schedule flexibility to keep pilots in the corporate field.
Get the complete, unbiased data categorized by aircraft type and mission (average, low, and high figures before taxes).
