Remarque : AFP qui n’a pas donné de chiffres à La Presse en a révélé beaucoup plus aux Allemands.

AFP, for example, reports that co-pilots at the start of their career earn €6,500 euros ($6,890) gross per month, while a late-career captain earns more than €22,000 euros – that’s between €78,000 and €264,000 annually.

GehaltsReporter.de estimates that Lufthansa copilots start at €63,000 and Handelsblatt estimates this figure to be closer to €65,000.

For veteran pilots, GehaltsReporter.de estimates that they can earn up to €250,000 or more per year. Handelsblatt estimates pilots with 20 or more years of experience could earn €225,000.

But how do they actually stack up compared to other companies?

This answer is a bit complicated because it varies greatly among airlines – which is part of what Lufthansa pilots are concerned about, given competition from budget airlines.

For example, GehaltsReporter.de reports that Air France KLM pays relatively high, with pilots starting at €134,000 (compared to €106,000 at Lufthansa), but co-pilots start at €49,000.

German Tui Fly pays co-pilots €63,000 to start, according toGehaltsReporter.de, while captains start at €106,000 and can make up to €204,000.

But at Ryanair, co-pilots start with €25,000 and pilots can make up to €85,000 maximum.
