And have they ever. When The Carlyle Group bought BAH back in 2008, it was totally dependent upon government contracts in the fields of information technology (IT) and systems engineering for its bread and butter.
According to data for 14 regional airlines, the average new pilotâs hourly wage is about $24 per hour, the report says. But the Air Line Pilots Association estimates that the average starting salary is even lower than that â $22,500 per year, which for a 40-hour work week equals an hourly rate of $10.75.
If you were to poll a group of random airline pilots about their salaries, youâd get a surprisingly vast range of numbers. One pilot makes only $24,000 per year while another makes over $200,000 per year. But interestingly, while airline pilot salaries vary wildly, they are pretty straightforward. So why the huge variation in pay between airline to airline or pilot to pilot when all pilots have to meet the same stringent requirements?
