Answers so far
Hokkaido Air System (HAC) captain pay is estimated at about $107K per year, pre-tax. These are our own estimates from public information, not figures the airline publishes.
Hokkaido Air System (HAC) first officer pay is estimated at about $63K per year, pre-tax, rising with seniority.
Hokkaido Air System Pilot Recruitment — First Officer (F/O) — experienced hire / internal JAL Group transfer. Key requirements: Eligibility: Holder of a Commercial Pilot License (multi-engine, instrument), or an internal JAL Group transfer; Base: Sapporo Okadama Airport (Hokkaido); English Requirement: Aviation English Proficiency Certificate, Level 4 or higher. Hiring status varies by period. Please confirm the latest information on the JAL Group recruitment page or the HAC official website.
Hokkaido Air System (HAC) captains, on our estimate, are on $107K, against roughly $179K at ANA and $161K at JAL. All three are pre-tax.
Dividing our estimated annual figures by 12, Hokkaido Air System (HAC) captains earn about $8.9K a month and first officers about $5.2K. What actually lands each month moves with block hours flown, and where an annual bonus is paid the regular monthly figure sits lower with a spike in the bonus month.
We estimate Hokkaido Air System (HAC) first officers at $63K and captains at $107K — a step of about $44K, or roughly 1.7×. The actual figure moves with seniority, type rating and the routes you fly.
Every figure on this page is gross, before income tax. We estimate captains at $107K and first officers at $63K 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.
