Hi everyone,
Is there any one who can tell me if the pilots employed in Cargo Airliners are paid more than Pilots in Passenger Airliners. If so , by what percentage, and how can I validate this?

thanx

I think you've got a few massive variables here;
1. Experience - the more experienced you have, the more money a company will pay you
2. Company - I doubt a budget airline will pay you as much as American Airlines!
3. Location - Different country, different GDP, different salary for everyone!
4. Route - Trans-Atlantic pilots will get paid more than domestic I would imagine!

Google throws up some interesting results for "Airline pilot average salary" and "Cargo pilot average salary"

Fedex Cargo Pilot - $180k ... Regular pilot $145k

I think you could look into the rest!

Good question though!
