Answers so far
StarFlyer (Star Flyer) captain pay is estimated at about $123K per year, pre-tax. These are our own estimates from public information, not figures the airline publishes.
StarFlyer (Star Flyer) first officer pay is estimated at about $72K per year, pre-tax, rising with seniority.
StarFlyer Pilot Recruitment — First Officer (F/O) / Captain — experienced-hire. Key requirements: Eligibility: Holder of a Commercial Pilot License (multi-engine & instrument) or an Airline Transport Pilot License; Base: Kitakyushu Airport or Fukuoka Airport (Fukuoka Prefecture); English: Aviation English Proficiency Certificate Level 4 or above. Hiring availability varies by period. Please confirm on StarFlyer's official website.
StarFlyer (Star Flyer) captains, on our estimate, are on $123K, against roughly $179K at ANA and $161K at JAL. All three are pre-tax.
Dividing our estimated annual figures by 12, StarFlyer (Star Flyer) captains earn about $10K a month and first officers about $6K. 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 StarFlyer (Star Flyer) first officers at $72K and captains at $123K — a step of about $50K, or roughly 1.7×. 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 $123K and first officers at $72K 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.
