What can an Airline Pilot realistically make?
I've used the APC pay calculator many a times, and the highest I could get was just over 300K with United Airlines Pay Rates. However, I have no idea how accurate these are. What can I realistcally expect to make first year regional FO, first year regional captain and then what do most Major captains top out at? I'm sure this question gets asked quite a bit, but I don't know where to find the info.

A lot of different answers but best way to determine what youll make it by taking hourly rate and multiply by 1000 and thats around how much youll make annually. First year Regional FO around 35k.. 5 year regional Captain pribably around 65-70k and major heavy captain all the way up to 300k
