Shin Nihon Airlines Pilot Recruitment — Captain / First Officer (F/O). Key requirements: Eligibility: Holder of a Commercial Pilot License (single- or multi-engine, instrument); Location: Kagoshima Airport (Kagoshima Prefecture); English: Aviation English Proficiency Level 4 or higher. Hiring status varies by period; please check Shin Nihon Airlines' official site. Candidates with a strong passion for small aircraft and remote-island routes are welcome.
Shin Nihon Airlines captains, on our estimate, are on $75K, against roughly $179K at ANA and $161K at JAL. All three are pre-tax.
Dividing our estimated annual figures by 12, Shin Nihon Airlines captains earn about $6.3K a month and first officers about $4K. 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 Shin Nihon Airlines first officers at $47K and captains at $75K — a step of about $28K, or roughly 1.6×. 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 $75K and first officers at $47K 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.
