Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – Pilot, is a profession that many people aspire to. Apart from being able to travel the world, the salary for this profession is also large.
Because life is at stake and special skills are needed which must be achieved through pilot school education.
In Indonesia itself, there are several well-known airlines that are the people’s choice. Among them, there is the state-owned airline PT Garuda Indonesia (Persero) Tbk. (GIAA).
Around 2018, Garuda Indonesia informed that the total income of novice pilots could reach IDR 60 million, including various allowances. Income will increase depending on flying hours. If a pilot is senior, Garuda can provide income ranging from IDR 100 million to IDR 150 million.
So what about now? The following is the information as reported by detikcom and CNN Indonesia.
Captain
A Captain has a gold four-line marker, although there are also those who use white. While on duty, the Captain can also be referred to as Pilot in Command (PIC). This means that he is the highest leader in the aircraft with regard to aviation security and safety. The estimated salary for a Garuda Indonesia airline captain is around IDR 50 million per month.
Cadet Pilot
In other words, a Cadet is a Co-Pilot who has just graduated from flight school. Usually, he has a mark in the form of 1 line on his shoulder as a sign of his rank. The estimated salary for a Cadet Pilot is usually below other positions and ranks or around IDR 18 million to IDR 35 million per month.
If you look at it, the pilot’s salary is indeed commensurate with the cost of education, which is not cheap. According to detikcom records, previously the General Chair of the Indonesian Pilots Association (IPI), Capt Rama Noya, had said that the salary for pilots in Indonesia for the captain position was around IDR 38-45 million.
Meanwhile, quoted from the book entitled ‘Air Cabin Crew Profession: Current Dream Profession’ by Arista Atmadjati, it is written that the average pilot salary is around US$ 80 thousand per year. This means that, if converted into rupiah, the pilot’s salary per month is around IDR 97.3 million (assuming an exchange rate of IDR 14,600/US$).
Pilots who work on international flights will earn more than those who work on domestic flights. The average salary for an international airline pilot is around US$ 145 thousand per year. This means that the salary for pilots working for international airlines is around IDR 176 million per month.
Apart from an attractive salary, airplane pilots will usually also receive several allowances, bonuses and other perks such as luxury accommodation. The amount and amount of allowances a pilot gets, of course, depends on the provisions of each airline.
