Pilot Salary: Comparing Best of the Bests

Welcome aboard!

Previously, I have covered overall pilot compensation in the US Legacies and Emirates Airline. This time, I compare the best-paying airline pilot salaries in the world. Please join me as I compare the earnings of legacy airline pilots in the US with those at the top-paying airlines in the Middle East. Discover the various components of their compensation packages, including basic salary, flight hours, housing allowance, and more. You will discover how much these pilots can earn over their careers and why they hit the jackpot with their salaries. Don't forget to like the video and subscribe to my channel.

The simple fact that you were at Emirates and now fly at United Airlines answers the “which is better question”, even though you don’t want to.

[aaronfrazier]

Can you do a vid on the cargo companies like ups and fedex etc

[Somali]

Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge with us, Captain. Your contributions are highly valued and appreciated. I extend my warmest greetings to you from Somalia.

Ask someone who got sick in the midle east as a pilot ! 😅

Thank you so much for your video

[Nahlol]

Hello Caner, all good points. A better analysis to add on to this would be cost of living in Texas compared to UAE (No point in comparing Cali/Colorado/NY).

[krishan_raj]

Caner bro u make the best and informative videos...

[TomJr-bw]

Hi Capt, I'm really enjoy watching your videos, so informative. Just have some questions. Don't you mind explain to me the appreciation 8%? How to calculate that? 8% base on what? Cuz I see the numbers rise so crazy. 14:54

[BankAngleCheck]

Thanks for these videos! Very informative and motivating!

[audyy]

Can you make a video on the documentation process of changing from Emirates to U.S Legacies? (Do you need green card? did the company sponsor you? How log did it take?)

[eddiemeng]

Hey Caner, I am in europe so can you compare the pay and benefits of Lufthansa Group and US Legacys? Thanks

[scwappycoco]

Great video! make one on Canadian salaries too

[mayomimayomi]

Can you give me a answer.what is the best Emirates or American airlines by the pilot salary

[Adamt]

Taner abi, I just got my pilot certificate with low hours. Is it possible for me to apply for a job in US with a Turkish passport holder? It’s a EASA license

[nguyenthanhan]

Hi Caner. This is a very interesting video!
May I ask how do you get visa to go to US airlines. When you apply to US airlines, did you resign from Emirate first or you can resign emirate after you get hired in US airline.
Thank you!

[la.première.roselle]

This is the video i actually need rn .... Like Caner makes the best pilot videos and Im going to watch some of his other videos while waiting for this one to release

[alejandrobustamante]

Hi Caner, could you please do the same comparative with Qatar?

[LilBobbyWT]

Hello Caner. I loved the video. The Only thing I'd like your feedback from is academy. I was researching and I found out that it costs ~180k for 2 year program. Is there any way to do the academy and then pay a cut of salary each month when you work for them. Kind of a debt

[DiegoTheGreat]

First of all, I just discovered your channel, and it's amazing. Thank you for your valuable information!
I'm a regional Captain, from South America
I'm trying to decide between applying for Copa, Emirates, or convalidate my ICAO license to FAA (hardest route)
What do you recommend? (Regarding incomes, taxes, Q.O.L)
Thank you in advance!

[karthikgoud]

Could you maybe make a video on how to move to the US / get a VISA or green card to be able to live and work for an airline in the US? Also with things like licence transfer the whole process seems very compicated. Thanks in advance!

You should include SWA, they contribute a lot in the industry especially with their new contract/ Pay.
