What is the Philippine Airlines pilot salary per month?

What is the Philippine Airlines pilot pay scale?

We estimate annual pay for Philippine Airlines captains at about $105K. That is our own estimate from public information, not a figure Philippine Airlines publishes.

Is the Philippine Airlines pilot salary before or after tax?

The sources do not say whether the Philippine Airlines figures on this page are before or after 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 Take-home depends on where you are resident and on your own deductions, so no single percentage applies, and we do not publish one.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.
