Answer: Entry-level pilots can earn up to Rs 1.5 lakh per month with domestic airlines and even higher on international routes. Senior pilots can earn in the vicinity of Rs 5 lakh upwards per month.
Pilots are also entitled to a range of benefits and allowances in addition to housing, medical and out-station allowances, as well as free/concessional air passages for their immediate family and dependents. This remuneration, to some extent, compensates for the high cost of training. Moreover, for those who like it, travel itself can be a rewarding experience.
