Great pay and I really hope you are truely happy. For me, having a job that pays $30 an hour and working 40 hours a week and then come home and seeing my 4 healthy kids everyday and eating together home cooked meals prepared by my wife and spending all the time with 5 of them maybe is not a typical American dream but I AM LIVING A DREAM.
Same life here brother...only difference is I have three kiddos. Money won't make you happy, but time will spent will. Spend time building your relationships with God, family, and few close friends and it'll all be ok. 🙂
This guy is so top notch. I love his transparency and how humble he is. So many pilots are type A personality who tend to seem more entitled.

@@pilot41186you should be mad at the generation before you who sold the pilot world out by introducing scope clauses for a slight pay bump. Because back in the old days, you could get hired at a major airline with 250 hours and a commercial multi.

Retired 1 year ago I was 747 Cargo Captain 33,000 hours plus I made over 560g a year. I had a 585.00 a flight hour salary and 250.00 starting when I hit the Airport. I was a Contract Pilot.

Me too, brother I’ll be praying for you that you make it out of the truck off the road and into the sky. I’m in the same boat been driving over 30 years and trying to change careers to aviation.

@@daddymmgI’m a part 141 student, my school is an accelerated course to get people their ratings as fast as possible, you could say a pilot mill. It’s geared towards preparing students to become airline pilots from their first day, where as part 61, while having the same ratings, is geared more towards recreational flying, or atleast for PPL and IRA. If you’re a fast learner and capable of excelling in a fast paced environment, go 141. If you feel like you need time to grasp all the abstract concepts of aviation that you will experience at the start, go 61.
I personally say transition to the wide body (787 cause I am biased) instead of upgrading to captain. Longer flights, cooler overnights, more adventures, more new vlog ideas, and you can just upgrade to captain once on the widebody later.
adventures?? you stay 10 hours in a very unhealthy environment, you stay 24 hours layover probably in a shitty place near the airport, you're tired as dead and one of the 2 flights in a night flight that kills you.
I hired on to a class 1 railroad as a freight conductor. We went through 6 weeks of training and then 6 months of OJT learning the territory we would be working. After those 6 months I was working either a guaranteed extra board where I needed to be available to work but if I didn't get called I still was paid for the day, or I was working a regular yard job where I was home every night or day. My base pay was $230 a day, no matter if I worked 2 hours or 8. If I went over 8 I started getting paid overtime. I am now retired and loving life!
That view is incredible. Before I saw I thought that’s small for first officer pay (after first year) even in nyc. But then I see you got a premium view . Very nice .
Went full nerd on the first 2 minutes. Loved the flight plan break down. I’m pumped to see this next breakdown of Captain vs FO. I would imagine a huge part of that decision has got to be seniority vs the FO pool compared to the captain pool. If you ever need golf partners on a TLH trip, I’m here fam!!
Very informative video. This is a particularly useful video for pilots who have just received their commercial certificate and have not yet decided where to fly, corporate aviation or airline
Excellent vlog, and explaining pay is awesome! Do another on 777, and captain pay! Do it all. Anything aviation is amazing! Bella closing the vlog is the icing 🐾. Have a good week Garrett! ✌️✈️🐾.
Love how you break down the dif of getting better routes and the difference in pay. You should be an aviation instructor. Great explanation for those who's pursuing to be a pilot ✈️👩✈️👨✈️🧳
Many of your passengers, with jobs requiring business travel, have additional “time away from base.” Whether those hours reduce the real pay per hour, seems to depend on whether the destinations are viewed as home away from home, even like mini vacations … or setbacks because you’re away from home. It often depends on the destinations.
Grew up as a military brat, many times on USAF bases that had flight lines. Dreamed my entire life of becoming a pilot. Took all the hard math and science classes in high school. Lived in Colorado Springs at the time. With my dad's 22-yr USAF career and my high scores, extracurricular activities, I was almost a shoe-in for the USAFA. Then I developed T1 diabetes halfway through my junior year in high school. Killed that dream. 40 years later, still feel crushed over it. MSFS2020 helps, but it isn't the same thing.
If you don't like his video you are free to leave..many people learned a lot about Aviation and that is because of Garrett he share about what he experience especially for those new students or freshman it helps a lot..
Many thanks to you for this video. I'm planning to become a airline pilot and I have to say that good salary is a half of succes in every kind of job in the world. I mean that if you like your job, thats good but if you doesn't get good cash you can't be fully happy and vice versa. My current job is a good example. I have got a good salary but I don't like my job and that's why I'm looking to change it.
RE seniority and "it's not too late". AA does not experience peak retirements until around 2032, then a gradual tapering. The tapering is still incredible attrition! 1000+ retirements a year at peak, then 950, then 900, 850. 800. 700 etc. Even on the back side of "peak retirements" the hiring is crazy good.
complicated; my longest flight was 22 hours (SFO - Dubai-Moscow) which 16 +6=22 hours. I guess if you are working on plane it's easiter than for a passenger, maybe, to "survive" those long hours.
@@flywithgarrettHey i remember you mentioned you went to ERAU, was it fairly easy for you to be able to reserve aircraft and slot times for flight training? Ive been hearing its really difficult now.
I fly corporate. Have no idea what I make an hour but I’m worth 22 million now. It is all about how rich your clients are and how much you help them getting to places on time and then helping them with other activities or making runs for them to pick up packages.
So is it still worth it becoming an airline pilot? Cos I look forward to attending a a flight school after my masters; studying social work..I’m in my mid 20s too
I really enjoyed your breakdown. I am curious about your thoughts regarding a person like myself. I'm 57 and I've had a passion for aviation for many years. Would it be feasible/practical to transition into an ATP certification at this stage of life, or should I simply pursue private recreational as an outlet?
SWA and AA have placed a indef hiring freeze on pilots. Theres way to many pilots in training and the regionals to majors pipeline is overloaed. The majors will be dialing back more and downsizingand expect 50% less pilots needed ny 32'. The schools are teaching single pilot ops for the airlines too. A close friend is a line check Capt/sim Capt and still on the line there, he said hiring will be on the shelf for awhile and the newest pilots will be dropped.
Always, at least at my union job I recommend a to Jr. employees or apprentices to jump to the next level and a lower seniority. Yes, it may cost you some money at first but at a maximum of 3 years you’l be back at your maximum lower level pay at least and from there it only gets so much better in pay and lifestyle- plus you can pick you shifts, hours and days you want to work That’s my experience
I don't mean this as a rude comment, but how do you live the lifestyle you live on your current pay? I live in NYC and have a fairly good idea what your rent must be, and you also have the most expensive of everything: cars, watches, jewlery, lavish vacations and first class travel. I know you work for AA, but I also know travel in first-class/business class is not free. You obviously have income from sources other than flying.
Junior pilots are severely underpaid.....more senior ones are overpaid. There's no balance. In USA, you are paid considerably more than Canadians. It's no wonder you can afford to live in NYC.
The balls of steel those construction workers on DFW 17R must have to have planes departing on the runway hoping their performance calcs are on point! Awesome videosss!
Great vibes and motivation I still browsing for my dream to be pilot at 44 you think I will be good one you know some pilot start at this age and make a good career
I see a lot of comments from truck drivers... Lol I'm trying to get into trucking as well, then transition to aviation... My plan is to avoid excessive debt by slowly working my way up... As a future truck driver i should be making enough money to afford the loan.
@@WISHBONEL7 I'm gonna assume a lot of driving... occasional drug testing, lots of rules and regulations and fast food... But I'm young (22), single with no money/debt to my name, so what do I have to lose?
But, since pilots have to have so many hours of rest, the typical 737 pilot makes a little over 100K per year. I retired 8 years ago at age 55 from a Fortune 50 company that had warehouse workers making that much or more a year. Most worked 12 hour days five days a week, but were home with their families every night.
Having spend a long career at a major....something here than needs to be point out I think...Look where he is living ....one of the most pricey and expensive cities in the world. NY. So what is that 213 an hour really worth ? Not really a commutable schedule in a 737 ....so he is kind of forced to live there...or it will come out of his body and time away commuting back and forth to his base. Flip side....many younger pilots now not really looking at non major airline altenatives...like flying boxes.... Usually far better and commutable schedules. (1 week on..10 days off..etc....) ..flying better routes. ..What is difference between getting up at 4 am or going to bed at 6 am ? Not sure. Ah the glory of being an airline pilot.
I had this playing the background while working. And I swore I heard him say, “white boy Garrett is back in full effect” 😂😂😂. I wound it back and he said, “white board Garrett” hahahahaha. Good stuff in this video.
What is the difference between some pilots getting paid based on 75-80 hours per month of flight time and the method you are breaking down? Are you required to meet a certain number of monthly hours or flights per month even when you try to fly the minimum amount? If you only fly one day a month, based on one turn, would that be all someone makes (the $1500)? Trying to understand the different tiers of pay. Thanks for sharing!
Sorry but the numbers you have for hourly rate seems way off. From pilot central a United fo on 737 with four years seniority the pay is listed as $161 to $168/hr. Where is $213 coming from?
I would say because your always talking about seniority , then upgrade to Captain and begin getting that Captain seniority sooner rather than later, then transition to wide body or stay narrow body
@@sirjasonakana you never know he could upgrade down the road but right now if his his life .. his job right now is good for him when he’s busy with other things and Bella..
If you upgrade to 737 CA next year, will you get paid as a 5th year CA? Same thing with the wide body, would you start out as a 5th year wide body FO or does it reset to first year pay every time you upgrade?
@@bloomer-v5f you never know what can happend.. I’m should he upgrade down the road but right now his job perfect for him went he busy with other things his life and Bella
@@bloomer-v5f you never know what could happen he could upgrade down the road but right now if how busy he is and other things he’s working on his job is perfect for him right now
My head is spinning! I don't quite understand why he's discussing Time Away from Base? That would be like us Dilberts talking about our commute to work?
I think he was just saying one flight pays 1500 and he's gone 9 hours vs the other flight paying say 2200 to be gone 40 hours. It's not worth 700 to be gone so long
After 20 years of military flying and 20 years of Commercial work.....do not underestimate the cost on your health. Pilots are paid much for their work - and there is a huge toll to be paid with health. Pilots notoriously underestimate the impacts on health trying to get back home with maximum $ in their pocket.
Hi! I’m interested in this career field. The only thing is I’m single and have a 8 month old puppy. Is this something I can maintain while going to pilot school and getting into the career? I love him so much and would never get rid of him but I also want to be able to pursue a successful career. I love flights and traveling.
I'm on A320 for lufthansa for 13 (!) years and I get (after tax) around 115$/h pay per block hour. we only get paid block hours.every other duty or ground courses with the company (emergency training and so on) is not paid extra. and our management always tells us pilots we're going to ruin the company and our salaries are not competitive. but hey promotion to captain is waiting at around 20 years seniority right now with lufthansa :D but even then we will ne get close to your FO salary in year 4 :D :D
Hey Garrett I’m a student pilot about to start my instrument at University i was wondering if there was a stipulation in Airline contracts that prevents pilots from posting videos affiliated with the airlines name or if it’s just avoided to not sway people to one airline or another? Thanks for all the insight in your videos
Your dog probably has anxiety because your work schedule sucks for a pet owner. Especially if you are living alone. One of the downsides to my career as a firefighter/paramedic working 24, 48, 72 hour and beyond shifts. How many hours are you getting paid for in an average month?

I retired 8 years ago at age 55 from a Fortune 50 company that had warehouse workers making that much or more a year. Most worked 12 hour days five days a week, but were home with their families every night.
Ты в хорошей физической форме...восхищаюсь❤
Да пейзаж у тебя за окном конечно великолепный.. отдельный респект твоей любимой девушке Беллле
Having spend a long career at a major....something here than needs to be point out I think...Look where he is living ....one of the most pricey and expensive cities in the world. NY. So what is that 213 an hour really worth ? Not really a commutable schedule in a 737 ....so he is kind of forced to live there...or it will come out of his body and time away commuting back and forth to his base. Flip side....many younger pilots now not really looking at non major airline altenatives...like flying boxes....
Usually far better and commutable schedules. (1 week on..10 days off..etc....) ..flying better routes. ..What is difference between getting up at 4 am or going to bed at 6 am ? Not sure. Ah the glory of being an airline pilot.
Well said brother.
Must be a rough commute from Williamsburg to JFK. Smart to bid early and beat the traffic!
absolutely love this guy!
so if jfk/dfw paid $1556, what did jfk /phx pay? $2130?
I had this playing the background while working. And I swore I heard him say, “white boy Garrett is back in full effect” 😂😂😂. I wound it back and he said, “white board Garrett” hahahahaha. Good stuff in this video.
$213/hr is nice but how many hours you work per week? Or are you paid only when you are flying?
Just curious though, how much is your rent or mortgage payment?
What is the difference between some pilots getting paid based on 75-80 hours per month of flight time and the method you are breaking down? Are you required to meet a certain number of monthly hours or flights per month even when you try to fly the minimum amount? If you only fly one day a month, based on one turn, would that be all someone makes (the $1500)? Trying to understand the different tiers of pay. Thanks for sharing!
How much does that equate to a month? How many flight days would a typical month have?
Sorry but the numbers you have for hourly rate seems way off. From pilot central a United fo on 737 with four years seniority the pay is listed as $161 to $168/hr. Where is $213 coming from?
Really enjoy your channel Garrett let’s see some golf too
should i stick stick with plumbing or become an ATP? $213.87 ehhhh......
all my pilot friends have so much time off its crazy how much free time they have......
I would say because your always talking about seniority , then upgrade to Captain and begin getting that Captain seniority sooner rather than later, then transition to wide body or stay narrow body
@@sirjasonakana you never know he could upgrade down the road but right now if his his life .. his job right now is good for him when he’s busy with other things and Bella..
Sorry, this is a weird question, but what earbuds do you use? I absolutely love your channel!!!
@@mmgando they look like the AirPod the second generation but I’m couldn’t been wrong though
Thanks @@xowestcoast09xo
@@mmgando no problem:) everytime
So what was the total compensation for the JFK-PHX example including time away from base?
Do you ever get bored with the long leg flights, genuine question? Does it get old after awhile
Do the pilots spraying our skies make more money?
appreciate the transparency
he went to college right
.. BS ? where?
What regional he flew at ?
Many air traffic controller’s are outraged that pilot’s get paid way more than them and luxury vacation’s, etc.
If you upgrade to 737 CA next year, will you get paid as a 5th year CA? Same thing with the wide body, would you start out as a 5th year wide body FO or does it reset to first year pay every time you upgrade?
Starts at 5th year
Great video!
I would love if you did a video on upgrading to captain or going to widebodys!
@@bloomer-v5f you never know what can happend.. I’m should he upgrade down the road but right now his job perfect for him went he busy with other things his life and Bella
@@bloomer-v5f you never know what could happen he could upgrade down the road but right now if how busy he is and other things he’s working on his job is perfect for him right now
As a flight dispatcher in Nigeria, I get paid a 100USD per month
Even tho your on the 737 , can you take a trip on the 321 , if that is an option for you ???
My head is spinning! I don't quite understand why he's discussing Time Away from Base? That would be like us Dilberts talking about our commute to work?
I think he was just saying one flight pays 1500 and he's gone 9 hours vs the other flight paying say 2200 to be gone 40 hours. It's not worth 700 to be gone so long
After 20 years of military flying and 20 years of Commercial work.....do not underestimate the cost on your health. Pilots are paid much for their work - and there is a huge toll to be paid with health. Pilots notoriously underestimate the impacts on health trying to get back home with maximum $ in their pocket.
It would be great to know more how the promotion happens, i can’t fund that answer anywhere, keep up with the good videos 😁
What brand pilot shirt do you use? Flight?
Hi! I’m interested in this career field. The only thing is I’m single and have a 8 month old puppy. Is this something I can maintain while going to pilot school and getting into the career? I love him so much and would never get rid of him but I also want to be able to pursue a successful career. I love flights and traveling.
I'm on A320 for lufthansa for 13 (!) years and I get (after tax) around 115$/h pay per block hour. we only get paid block hours.every other duty or ground courses with the company (emergency training and so on) is not paid extra. and our management always tells us pilots we're going to ruin the company and our salaries are not competitive. but hey promotion to captain is waiting at around 20 years seniority right now with lufthansa :D but even then we will ne get close to your FO salary in year 4 :D :D
you're very inspiring man !
You should watch the 1990 documentary “Jet jockey’s” great documentary.
Very interesting. Lots of jargon too. You're shifting back and forth from left to right side of the board a little too much for me, it's distracting.
Hey Garrett I’m a student pilot about to start my instrument at University i was wondering if there was a stipulation in Airline contracts that prevents pilots from posting videos affiliated with the airlines name or if it’s just avoided to not sway people to one airline or another? Thanks for all the insight in your videos
Hey, how much do you have to pay out of pocket to become student pilot?
Your dog probably has anxiety because your work schedule sucks for a pet owner. Especially if you are living alone. One of the downsides to my career as a firefighter/paramedic working 24, 48, 72 hour and beyond shifts. How many hours are you getting paid for in an average month?
Sounds good. About how much/year.
