Can Air Force pilots fly civilian aircraft after becoming a professional pilot?

Air Force pilots can fly civil airliners after training, but it is impossible for civil airline pilots to go to the Air Force, so you can know that Air Force pilots are even rarer talents. Let’s talk about the treatment of civil aviation pilots and air force pilots.

Civil aviation pilots

At present, there is no unified standard for the salary and benefits of domestic airlines. The income gap between various domestic airlines is also very large, and domestic routes and international routes There is also a big gap. An average pilot's monthly income ranges from a few thousand yuan to more than 10,000 yuan. A captain’s salary is at least 20,000 yuan, and for some airlines in the south, the captain’s highest monthly salary can be 40,000 to 50,000 yuan. It was once reported that a domestic airline even asked for a salary when recruiting captains. The annual salary is 800,000 yuan plus a car and a garden villa at a sky-high price.

The monthly salary of a co-pilot is generally 10,000 yuan, and the comprehensive monthly salary of a captain is generally more than 50,000 yuan. A captain earns more than 650,000 yuan per year. However, pilot salaries vary among airlines, with Air China being the highest. The pilot allowance for international flights is $200 per hour. Flight instructors who are more senior than captains earn an annual salary of 700,000 to 800,000 yuan. If they fly long enough, their annual salary can exceed one million yuan.

However, in many airlines, the captain's salary does not have much room for fluctuation, and it is basically a "monthly salary". According to regulations, a captain cannot fly more than 8 hours a day, 100 hours in a month, and 270 hours in total in 3 months. When some captains fly international routes, some colleagues will advise him not to fly so much. Anyway, the more you fly, the lower the cost will be the same.

As rumored outside, there are indeed some private airlines poaching state-owned airlines and asking captains to change jobs. The remuneration conditions offered by private airlines are indeed attractive. Generally, after a co-pilot changes his job, his salary can be increased by half; some captains' salary can even be doubled. In order to prevent captains from changing jobs, some airlines have also set up "dedicated care teams" to keep track of the captain's thoughts at any time.

Air Force pilots:

The salary of Air Force pilots is indeed not high, and their benefits are mainly reflected in the following aspects:

1. High administrative level. A first-time pilot is assigned the rank of deputy company officer, and a senior pilot can reach the rank of assistant division commander.

2. The conditions for joining the army are good. Regardless of the restriction that family members of officers below deputy battalion rank cannot accompany the military, family members of pilots of certain aircraft types can also directly arrange civilian jobs in the military.

3. Flights are subsidized. Enjoy flight allowance based on flying hours, ranging from 60-900 per hour.

4. Have recuperation every year.

First of all, the basic salary of Air Force pilots is more than 2,000 yuan just after graduation, and the salary of pilots with more than three years is 5,000-11,000 yuan. But there is also a flight hour subsidy. This subsidy depends on the aircraft you fly. It is generally 60-300 yuan per hour for helicopters and transport planes, and 600 yuan for bombers. But flying J-series aircraft, especially the J-10, will be higher. Flying the J-10; J-11-11B; and waiting to fly for one hour costs about 900 yuan. Therefore, the monthly income of an Air Force pilot is about 8,000-23,000 yuan and there is a monthly food subsidy of 1,100 yuan, and the annual income is about 110,000-300,000 yuan. Besides, clothing and housing are provided free of charge by the state.

There is a saying in the Chinese military that three farmers support an army; three armies support a navy; three navy funds support an air force; and three air force engineers support an air force pilot. The wife of a fighter pilot can also be specially recruited to serve as an officer (civilian); the children will be taken care of when they go to college. If they fail to enter a local university, they can be arranged to enter the military academy; when the pilot is out of service, he will have a grounding of 500,000 to 800,000 yuan. Grants, etc.
