We do not publish a monthly figure for Skymark Airlines. An annual figure divided by twelve is not what lands in a given month — what you are paid moves with the hours you fly.

What is the Skymark Airlines pilot pay scale?

We estimate annual pay for Skymark Airlines captains at about $120K. That is our own estimate from public information, not a figure Skymark Airlines 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 Skymark Airlines first officers at about $80K. That is the median of the annual pay Skymark Airlines 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.

Is the Skymark Airlines pilot salary before or after tax?

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 Take-home depends on where you are resident and on your own deductions, so no single percentage applies, and we do not publish one.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.
