In the United States it depends on several circumstances including rank, years of service, and other stipulations ranging from hazardous duty incentive pay, flight pay ect.
In a VERY general sense first year as O-1 (Ensign) rank officer you will earn $34,512 in a year in base pay (not including all the other additions flight pay ect.)
And typically while still staying in the cockpit you will only reach about rank O-4 (Lieutenant Commander) so say with that rank and with over 8 years of service you will earn $78,336 in a year in base pay.
You should also consider the various perks you get from being a servicemen and afterwards with very good healthcare, vision (of coarse), dental, tax cuts, and the opportunity to wake up at 5:45 am in the Atlantic, sit in a briefing room for 1 and a half hours, then travel at the speed of sound as the sun rises.

No. Naval Aviators (Pilots and Naval Flight Officers), are all officers, and therefore do not go to boot camp. Instead, you have to go through a commissioning program. Examples include the Naval Academy, Navy ROTC at a civilian university/college, or if you already have a college degree, apply for Officer Candidate School. Some go for as mentioned above but for myself, I went through bootcamp and still became an officer (LCDR).
The Aviator grossed $214,608,827 worldwide.
