From Google:
Pilots made a median salary of $130,440 in 2020. The best-paid 25 percent made $208,000 that year, while the lowest-paid 25 percent made $90,470.
That's pretty awesome, consideting that baggage handlers make minimum wage. ~$11/hr
Edit: Others have mentioned these numbers are really high. Pilots get these salaries 20+ year later. Starting numbers are im $30k/year. Welders make more than pilots when they're starting. I just don't want anyone to get their hopes high.
Edit2: Also per Google: "Pilot pay at jetBlue ranges from $44,956.80 per year for a new first officer up to $183,691.20 per year for a senior captain." I don't know how long it takes to become a senior captain. I also found out that pilot vacation is not that great. Starts from 2 weeks, and goes up to 4 weeks after 20 year service. I don't really understand how many hours pilots work in a month. I wanna say they get some time off from flying during the month, but I'm not sure.
