Answers so far
Japan Transocean Air (JTA) captain pay is estimated at about $126K per year, pre-tax. These are our own estimates from public information, not figures the airline publishes.
Japan Transocean Air (JTA) first officer pay is estimated at about $82K per year, pre-tax, rising with seniority.
Captain / First Officer (B737-800) — Okinawa routes. Naha-based. Key requirements: License: B737 type rating (ATPL/CPL + instrument rating); Language: Japanese required; English ICAO Level 4 or above; Application: Via JAL Group careers page. Please confirm hiring details on the JAL Group careers page and the official JTA website.
Japan Transocean Air (JTA) captains, on our estimate, are on $126K, against roughly $179K at ANA and $161K at JAL. All three are pre-tax.
Dividing our estimated annual figures by 12, Japan Transocean Air (JTA) captains earn about $11K a month and first officers about $6.8K. 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 Japan Transocean Air (JTA) first officers at $82K and captains at $126K — a step of about $44K, or roughly 1.5×. 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 $126K and first officers at $82K 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.
