It is with great pleasure that we are announcing our newly updated Airline Pilot Salary information section! Our new pilot salary information section provides the latest pilot pay scales for over 72 U.S. based and three foreign based carriers. We hope to add more airlines, especially foreign based Non-U.S. carriers, in the near future.
We have now automated our entire pay scale information resource. Now pilots can make small or large changes or additions to our pay scale pages simply through the use of our easy to use pay update forms that correspond to each airlines link found at: http://www.willflyforfood.com/airline-pilot-salary/. To make additions or changes to an airlines pay information simply click the “Edit This Pay Rate Data” link in the upper right corner of each airlines pilot salary page. No longer will it take days or even weeks for pay scales to be updated. Now updates will usually be made within minutes after being accepted by administrators!
Another new feature we have added is the ability to graph and compare pay rates for multiple airlines or multiple positions. You can also right click on these graphs to save them as jpeg images or print on your personal printer. We are sure this new graphing feature will be a valuable tool for pilots and union negotiators.
If you have updated pilot pay scale information please click the corresponding airlines link in our Pilot Salaries section. If you have a new airline to submit please click here.

Alaska Airlines and the union for its 1,500 pilots say they have a tentative agreement on a new four-year contract.
The Air Line Pilots Association is expected to announce results of a vote in the third week in May.
The contract has been in negotiation for more than two years. Terms were not announced Wednesday, but the union’s Bill Shivers says it meets goals of improving or protecting pay, job security, retirement and health benefits.

For many pilots, the idea of an Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) is the stuff that dreams are made of (dreams geared towards reducing job-related paperwork that is). As much as we all love flying we hate the paperwork. Unfortunately paperwork is a necessary part of our job. The good news is that with the advances in technology and newly certified products, some visionary airlines have realized the vision of a paperless cockpit and are saving money in the process.
Getting rid of the paper maintenance logbook is particularly difficult because it’s so data-entry centric. Unlike charts in which information is only referenced, the maintenance logbook is constantly being updated by pilots as well as by maintenance. It’s the one place where Flight Operations and Maintenance Operations use the same paperwork, which oh by the way just happens to be the official maintenance record that’s auditable by the regulatory authorities. No page can be lost or misplaced which is one reason why all log pages are serialized. The airline must keep logbook entries for the life of an aircraft, yet we immediately dump old charts the day they expire. Big difference! Read the rest of this entry »

Feeling a bit anxious lately? Worrying about everything from the light bill to world peace? Waking up at 3am with the worry dragons breathing down your neck?
Allow me to begin by stating the obvious: the past 18 months have been an unprecedented time of anxiety for the majority of Americans. Between job losses, national security and business scandals it can all add up to feeling as though you have lost control of your destiny.
But, hold the phone for good news! During my years of consulting with individuals facing job adversity (company bankruptcy, termination, health issues) I have identified four specific steps that can help you prioritize your worries and regain control of your outlook and, ultimately, regain control of your destiny.
Big results can come from a little focused effort. Although these suggestions are not earth shattering, they can make the difference between fighting the 3am dragons on a nightly basis or slaying them and actually getting a good night’s sleep. Let’s begin.
