The answer varies greatly!

Factors affecting pilot pay: * Time with the company (seniority) * Aircraft flown * Whether they are a Captain or First Officer (seat) * The hours in their monthly schedule * The pay scale at their specific airline A pilots pay is figured upon the hourly rate for their seat and their equipment based upon the pay grade for their seniority. Each company also has a set 'minimum guarantee' flight hour pay in their pilot contract. This is generally about 75 hours per month but varies slightly by airline. (A few majors guarantee is only 65!) However, in no case will the pilot earn less than the 'minimum guarantee'. They may fly less than 75 actual flight hours, but they will still be paid for the 75 per their guarantee. If they get a flight schedule that is blocked for more flight hours than the minimum guarantee, they will then get paid for the greater amount of time flown instead, plus per diem. Flight crew make about $1-3 per hour in 'per diem' for every hour they are away from their domicile on a trip to cover expenses.

According to the Air Line Pilots Association, their average major* airline member Captain is 50 years old, with 18 years seniority and makes $182,000 a year. A non-major airline Captain is 41 years old with 10 years of seniority and makes $70,000 a year.

The average ALPA First Officer member at a major airline is 43 years old with 10 years of seniority and makes $121,000 per year, while an ALPA non major First Officer is age 35 with 3 years of service and makes $33,000. *A major airline is a carrier with more than a billion in sales annually. American, Delta, Northwest, United, Continental, US Airways, Southwest, Alaska (and even several 'regional' carriers) are considered majors by that definition. However, not all major carriers pilots are members of the ALPA union, notably AA & SWA who have their own in house unions.

There is not a way to determine the exact amount a private pilot may make. The range is from $10,000-$35,000.

Can someone explain a recreational and private pilots' certificates?

The recreational pilot certificate was created by the FAA for "weekend" pilots, retired pilots, and pilots who cannot pass the FAA physical for the private pilots license. It is intended for pilots who fly for pleasure only and limits those pilots to daytime flying, aircraft with no more than four seats and powerplants of 180hp or less. Like a private pilots license, recreational pilots cannot fly for monetary compensation.A private pilot certificate has its own restrictions but a private pilot has the ability to attain further license endorsements to remove those restrictions.A private pilot may not fly in IFR weather until they have attained the IFR endorsement.A private pilot may not fly aircraft with more than a 200hp powerplant without the high-performance endorsement.A private pilot may not fly for monetary compensation without the commercial endorsement.A private pilot may not fly multi-engined aircraft without the multi-engine endorsement.A private pilot may not fly complex aircraft (aircraft with retractable gear and/or constant-speed prop) without the complex aircraft endorsement....and so on.The primary difference is that a private pilot usually intends to go on with their training and eventually attain these endorsements. The recreational certificate is intended for pilots who simply wish to fly on sunny days, just for fun, and has much less stringent requirements as far as training, currency, and medical. Many retired/older pilots who can no longer pass the FAA physical will opt for the recreational certificate so they can still fly for fun. Disabled people also can attain a recreational pilots license, but may have additional restrictions.
