In this episode, Hayden Teteak breaks down the real salary journey from certified flight instructor (CFI) to regional first officer, regional captain, major airline first officer, and major airline captain. We discuss actual pay ranges, signing bonuses, per diems, and retirement contributions, and look at how to maximize your earning potential while managing debt. You'll also hear about the pilot shortage, how new electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft are creating new pilot jobs, and why increased cockpit automation won't eliminate pilot careers any time soon. Stick around for strategies on networking, understanding union contracts, investing for retirement, and balancing lifestyle with career goals.Want to take your aviation career to the next level?
