This all depends on the company, the aircraft and whether your a first officer or captain of an aircraft, When my dad first joined northwest in 1998 and started off as a first officer for a DC-9 he was making about $48,000 a year, but besides the pay the health insurance benefits are incredible, they were paying about 90% of health coverage for him, and about 3 months before 9/11 my dad was making about $104,000 a year, and in 2008 he made about $72,000 due to terrorism and the economy, a wide body captain makes about anywhere from about $110,000 to a little bit above $200,000. A wide body plane is any plane with more than 2 isles rows of seats, I hope this helps

Anywhere from less than $20,000 US dollars per year to somewhere around $200,000 / year. It varies greatly depending on if you are talking about regional vs major, captain vs fo, new guy vs senior guy, etc.

Not enough. They pay is just not what it used to be. Less pay and more work is the motto now. It used to be more pay and less work, but those days are long gone and I don't see them coming back. Go to medical school.
