We do not publish a monthly figure for Oriental Air Bridge (ORC). An annual figure divided by twelve is not what lands in a given month — what you are paid moves with the hours you fly.
We estimate annual pay for Oriental Air Bridge (ORC) captains at about $94K. That is our own estimate from public information, not a figure Oriental Air Bridge (ORC) publishes. These are gross figures, before income tax. The actual figure moves with the aircraft type, years of service and the routes you fly. We estimate annual pay for Oriental Air Bridge (ORC) first officers at about $65K. That is the median of the annual pay Oriental Air Bridge (ORC) first officers have submitted to PILOT VALUE. These are gross figures, before income tax. The actual figure moves with the aircraft type, years of service and the routes you fly. Source checked 2026-10-30; yen figures are converted for comparison at the rate held as of 2026-08-22, not a live rate.
Every figure on this page is gross, before income tax. Take-home depends on where you are resident and on your own deductions, so no single percentage applies, and we do not publish one. Airlines based in countries with no personal income tax — the UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia — leave more of the same gross figure in your hand.
