The hourly pay of a pilot can varies depending on multiple factors, including their crew position (CFI, CFI/I, MEI, Captiain, First Officer, or Second in Command), hours logged, type ratings, and the airline or company they work for. Generally, a certified flight instructor can expect to earn between $25 and $50 per hour depending on where they fly and train. The pay for pilots at regional airlines can range from $36 per hour to $130 per hour, while pilots flying a Boeing 777 for a major airline can earn around $320 per hour. It’s important to research the specific airlines you’re interested in flying for to learn more about their hiring requirements and pay scales.
