Commercial pilots really don't make that much money. I'd think it was more than $18K though...my boss's private pilot said he made in the mid $20K's when he was a commercial pilot.

I tried to find where I read that the NCP went from 80k before to 18k now. I don't see it, but I KNOW I read that...... Honestly, if they work full time, I am sure they make more than that. Heck you can work at Mcdonalds and make almost that much in a year.

I read an article from the Motley Fool about Airline salaries. An entry level regional/commuter entry job pays between 15 and 20K a year. This is a bottom of the food chain pilot job. Of course the more experience you get, the more money you make.

They may only work 1000 hours a year on the small commuter routes.

correct...the smaller the route, the smaller the plane the smaller the paycheck.

So, I guess the salary quoted is more along the lines of part-time income (you wouldn't make that money at McDonalds for part-time). Although it stills sounds low for a pilot.

That is what they consider full-time.
If you work for the major airlines and have years of experience you, of course, make more money.
