Payscale.com shows a median of $100,191 and a range of $37,774 to $273,010. These numbers only give us a glimpse of how much a pilot earns and how those earnings change over a career.o summarize, pilots can expect to make between $28,000 and $121,000 while at the regionals and between $73,000 and $350,000 at the major airlines. That is excellent pay for a job that so many of us love doing.
