How much does earn a pilot and Colonel from the US Air force?
476618
I can only assume you are talking about 2 different people, since most Colonels do not fly planes anymore.  \n\nYou can find out how much military people make by using the DoD chart at http://www.dod.mil/dfas/militarypay/newinformation/WebPayTableVersion2006updated.pdf\n\nA Colonel in the USAF is an O-6, but the pilot you'd have to figure out their rank.   You can use that info along with the tenure and any special duty pay to figure out what they are making.

I usta fly hueys.  Better have deep pockets.  Currently they run around $750,000 to $1,000,000, they cost a ton to insure and burn about a gallon of jet fuel each MILE!\n\nLearning to fly is like juggling blindfolded, easy once you get the trick.

I am also fifteen and I am going to pursue a career as a pilot.  What you should do first, is go to your local airport, and go on introductory flight.  It alows you to fly the plane, and get a feel for it to see if you like it.  If you do, you should get your private pilot licence, and then get the rest of your licences and ratings if this is something that you really want to pursue.  It is $10,000 Canadian to get your private, and if you want to get all you ratings and licences, its about $50,000.  But if you really love flying, you should do it.  Sure it takes a lot of work and time (5-10) years to get to an airline, but once your flying a big heavy, it will all have been worth it.

Median annual earnings of flight attendants were $38,820 in 2000. The middle 50 percent earned between $28,200 and $56,610. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $18,090, and the highest 10 percent earned more than $83,630. \nAccording to data from the Association of Flight Attendants, beginning flight attendants had median earnings of about $14,847 a year in 2000. However, beginning pay scales for flight attendants vary by carrier. New hires usually begin at the same pay scale regardless of experience, and all flight attendants receive the same future pay increases. Flight attendants receive extra compensation for night and international flights and for increased hours. In addition, some airlines offer incentive pay for working holidays or taking positions that require additional responsibility or paperwork. Most airlines guarantee a minimum of 65 to 75 flight hours per month, with the option to work additional hours. Flight attendants also receive a “per diem” allowance for meal expenses while on duty away from home. In addition, flight attendants and their immediate families are entitled to free fares on their own airline and reduced fares on most other airlines. \n\nFlight attendants are required to purchase uniforms and wear them while on duty. The airlines usually pay for uniform replacement items, and may provide a small allowance to cover cleaning and upkeep of the uniforms. \n\nThe majority of flight attendants hold union membership, primarily with the Association of flight attendants. Others may be members of the Transport Workers Union of America, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, or other unions.

You don't join the military and just become a pilot.  If you have yet to graduate from high school or have done really well with it you can get into the ROTC program and go to school then be commisioned as an officer.  You could also enlist and then go to school while serving in another career--after you get your degree you can apply to officers training school.  (OTS)  There are several ways in which to get scholarships to become an officer either through enlistment or ROTC.  Your best bet is contacting a recruiter.

In short, average annual salary is about $31,700.\n\nAverage hourly wage is $16.62 (US dollars) for all private sector employees (people who do not work for the government). The workweek is about 33.8 hours, with 4.6 hours of overtime. So, the average weekly salary is about $561. Thus, the average annual salary is $29,252.14. You can find the Bureau of Labor Statistics data at http://stats.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.nr0.htm\nFor both private and government employees, the average salary was $18.09 per hour, the average for only government workers was $22.77 per hour as of July 2004; this gives an average annual salary of about $31,700. A pdf with data breakdowns for profession and location is at http://www.bls.gov/ncs/ocs/sp/ncbl0727.pdf\n\n\nThis is smaller than the average income, because income includes profits from investments (bank accounts, stocks, etc.), and I do not believe it accounts for bonuses, though I am not certain.\n\nThe average household income in 2004 was $44,389, according to the census at http://www.census.gov/prod/2005pubs/p60-229.pdf (page 10 according to Adobe, or page 3 as printed on the page itself). There are about 113 million households in the United States. This number is often used in place of personal income because it better reflects living standard and quality of life. This amount includes profits from investments and other non-salary income. \n\nIn case you are curious, it appears that the job with highest hourly salary is pilot, at around $113 per hour. However, being a pilot is more of a lifestyle than a profession, and pilots spend most of their time between flights recovering from jet lag (the effect on the sleep and eating cycle of traveling east and west; the pilot moves through several time zones and throws their bodily cycle off by several hours). So, pilots technically ‘work’ relatively few hours, but their job occupies most of their life.

You should join the Air Force ROTC.  They will let you finish college and they will pay your tuition.  Then, you are obligated to 4 years in the Air Force as an officer.

In order to get a Private Pilot certificate, it will cost you between $5,000 and $9,000 depending on the rental rates in your area and how fast you progress through the curriculum. If you already have knowledge of necessary subjects, it will require less ground instruction, so you may save yourself a small amount of money as less time will need to be spent on that.\n\nFAA Private Pilot requirements must include at least 40 hours of flight time with a minimum of 10 being solo and 20 "dual" or with an instructor. (Note: most students take almost TWICE that amount of flight time to actually finish.)\n\nHere is a cost estimate at a MINIMUM based on average rates:\n\nCessna 172 aircraft:\n40hr x $85/hr= $3,400\nFlight instruction:\nInflight 25hr x $25/hr= $625\nGround 15hr x $15/hr $225*\nBooks & Supplies $100\nWritten Test Fees $75\nFlight Test Fees $300\nMedical Exam $50\nTotal $ 4,775\n\n*Not all CFIs charge a lower rate for ground instruction.\n\nIf you apply yourself and fly 3-5 times a week you will finish for the cheapest and in the least amount of time (a month or two).

The base pay is the same as every other airman of the same rank.  You don't get a pay raise for being a crew chief.  You get a pay raise for advancing in rank.

There are some really nice pilot training schools throughout the country.  Not sure if there is one in Texas though.  The pay is fairly good, but like long distance truck drivers, if you count the time you are not actually at home, then that alone narrows it down to a lower pay scale.  If you had an email address posted, I would ask a few people whom I know, then I would tell you.  But you don't, so I can't.  Click on my avatar, and email me.  I can get back to you as soon as I can.  See ya.

According to this article Senators make about $165k plus benefits (which I'm sure are MANY). \n\nI love how they get to elect their own payraises. If only they would do that for the military...this Jan we're getting the lowest pay raise in history. I think it's less than 2%.\n\nhttp://usgovinfo.about.com/library/weekly/aa031200a.htm

You will want to double -check these, but here goes. From bottom to top\nRAF: Pilot Officer, Flight Officer, Flight Lieutenant, Wing Commander, Group Captain, Air Commodore, Air Vice Marshal, Air Marshal, Air Chief Marshal\nUSAF: 2d lieutenant, 1st lieutenant, captain, major, lieutenant colonel, colonel, brigadier general, major general, lieutenant general, general (The USAF didn't become a separate service from the army until after WW II, and retained the Army nomenclature. Naval aviators are naval officers, and naval ranks are different.)

Let's see.  Which service is known for flying in the AIR?\n\nTo become an Air Force pilot, you must have a 4-year college degree.  The 3.5 GPA is in high school or in college?  \n\nIf you are still in high school, congratulations for thinking ahead.  Contact your high school counselor and/or the local Air Force Recruiter.  The Recruiter is the point-of-contact for the Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC).  They can also direct you to the local contact for the Air Force Academy.\n\nIf you are in college, contact the Air Force Officer Training School (OTS) Recruiter.  They can get you scheduled for the proper tests (physical & mental) to verify qualifications for the Air Force.\n\nThe Air Force Recruiters are required by regulation to make sure each person that comes into their office understands what the highest (most difficult) program that they qualify for.\n\nGood Luck!

Basically you have to go through your basic progression and then get a lot of freefall time in.  Once you have a good amount of time in (and have shown an aptitude) you might be accepted on an instructor course. Assuming you pass this you could progress to separate AFF, tandem etc certification - this varies per country.\n\nIn terms of pay, as I understand it you can make a living but you wont get rich (this is assuming you are in a country that jumps all year and has decent weather!).  Getting additional certification will help.\n\nI would suggest that you go on an AFF course and see if you have any aptitude and enjoy it before getting any higher ambition.\n\nHope that helps - drop me a line if you want to talk about it.\n\nBlue skies =8-)

Wanda's right. The military does not make as much as civilians. But, as someone with a college degree you will definitely have higher pay and preferential treatment for things like housing. It also depends on what branch of the military you sign up for.\n\nI think it would be safe to assume that in your first year you would be making mid to late 20's. If you are married you can live on base with your family and all of your rent, water, and electricity is covered. If you choose to live off base (or if no space is available on base...this happens) then your monthly housing allowance would be anything from $800 - $2000 depending on your rank and the number of dependents you have. If your single, you can live in the barracks, rent free or can use your housing allowance to rent an apartment off base or buy a house.\n\nSoldiers who are stationed overseas also get combat pay....like a bonus in their pay check.\n\nThere's no guarantee you wouldn't end up in Iraq, no matter what branch you sign up for. But, your noble to consider a career in the military.

Not very high, I'm afraid.\n\nCommercial flying is a mugs game. My friend left a £40K job to go be a pilot, after a years training/probation at the midland school he earned £25 for a couple of years and got really bored with it. That was before the airline downturn. I bet its much worse now.\n\nI had a ppl for 3 years and would never consider a commercial pilot role. In what other job do they actually "create" manual things for an operative to do because the job is so boring ? None.\n\nIts a glorified bus driver, and not paid much more than a london bus driver.\n\nThe ONLY way to be a commercial piolt and have a good time is to do private charters. i.e.,buy yourself a plane and do sightseeing or short hop trips. but when you see the rates for that i bet they still don't earn much\n\nSorry if it's not want you want to hear, but you have to be realistic when choosing a career move.
