Default SQ Pilots' Pay

Straits Times reported that SIA pilots' salaries were revealed in the pay dispute court case between SIA and its pilots' union.

Captains flying Boeing 777 planes take in a median of $271,888 per annum, which excludes allowances. Their First Officers receive a median income of $149,258. First Officers are "junior captains" - they become Captains upon promotion.

According to AskCaptainLim.com, a national airline pilot in the US commands up to US$250,000 per year. According to the same website, a Captain with the Malaysia Airlines (MAS) receives a gross pay of up to RM35,000/mth including allowances.

Hi there,

Just to base on 65 hrs of flying duties is not accurate at all to calculate SIA pilots' gross salary.

MVC( Monthly variable component has to take into account )as well as all other allowances such as transport, location meal allowances and inflight meal allowances have to be taken into account too. A ball park figures for all these allowances in will be close to 5K or more.

Spoken to some pilots ( Capts and FOs ) before hence a rough guide for gross salary will be at range of 19-30K over for Capts ( base on seniority as basic salary differs between a junior guy and much senior guy ) and 10K-16K for FOs ( base on seniority as well again ).

Hence I am also quite surprise Pilots are not in the top 100 Jobs in Singapore list.

Yea right, Tequila....the aviation industry will burst unless the end of the world is coming or everyone stop flying for holidays, business trips or maybe another bad SARS or real bird flu spread worldwide until nobody dares to travel out of the house.

If that's not the case...I guess it's a super boom time for travel industry be it Airlines, travel agencies etc especially Singapore IR and other big joyous events around the world happening.

Think of all the big bonus major national Airlines are throwing out to their employees.

Dear Mr/Ms Admin,

I have checked with my friends with respective Airlines. Captains flying Wide body planes rack in a median of $271,888 per annum, which excludes allowances as you mentioned is quite there about for most senior crew.

Inclusive all the allowances in will be close to a range of 300K - 500K++ annual (depending on seniority of the Captain in the Airlines).

But again I agree with you totally, maybe it's not a common job. Hence it is not classified in the 100 jobs or taken notice commonly.

Hi

I'm a 16 year old student doing my GCE N Level Examination this year. Hopefully next year i would graduate with my O Levels. I have an ambition to be a Commercial Pilot since young, watching those fast jets on national day inspired me alot. I'm also very interested about how the humongous aircraft takes off and lands safely.I have a few questions and hope someone would clear my doubts. First, I've heard from some of my friends that its not easy for Muslims in particular to get into the aviation industry due to recent terrorist attacks. Secondly how am i suppose to go about in becoming a Pilot. I've a few ideas in my mind like taking up a Pilot license through Singapore Youth Flying Club or getting a diploma in aerospace techonology after my Os.I hope someone could help me out with these doubts.

Thank You

1. There are lots of Muslim Pilots in SIA.
2. You need a minimum qualification which can be found here
3. If you are successful is being recruited as a Cadet Pilot, they'll train you.

Hope this helps.

Funny to read back some comments from last year. The airline industry really burst and several airlines are on the verge. Tickets are also cheaper so I guess the pilot`s salary have also decreased, if they could keep their job at all…

Be a pilot is great. But he must be careful of politics and scandals. A pilot will live a pseudo-star life and have to be disciplined.

Next pilots got to manager their love life well. Being overseas most of the time can cause serious problems such as doubts of trust. All the Carebears always says, “Love is all about trust”. But trust me with all these beauties around, your wife isn’t going to feel good at all even though your conscious is clear.
