Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Breeze Airways captain salary in 2026?

What is the Breeze Airways first officer salary?

Breeze Airways first officer pay is estimated at about $120K per year, pre-tax, rising with seniority.

What are the requirements to become a Breeze Airways pilot?

Captain & First Officer — Domestic flying. Choice of multiple bases. Key requirements: License: FAA ATP; Min. Flight Hours: To be confirmed. A220 type rating holders preferred.

What is the Breeze Airways pilot salary per month?

What is the Breeze Airways pilot pay scale?

We estimate Breeze Airways first officers at $120K and captains at $214K — a step of about $94K, or roughly 1.8×. The actual figure moves with seniority, type rating and the routes you fly.

Is the Breeze Airways pilot salary before or after tax?

Every figure on this page is gross, before income tax. We estimate captains at $214K and first officers at $120K pre-tax, and income tax, social insurance and any local levies come out of that. Take-home depends on where you are resident and on your own deductions, so no single percentage applies. Airlines based in countries with no personal income tax — the UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia — leave more of the same gross figure in your hand.
