How Much Do I Get Paid as a Caravan Co-pilot?
Southern Airways has a sliding scale based on the time built as a co-pilot. Hourly co-pilot pay ranges from $15/hr. - $21/hr. with the average co-pilot getting between 70 - 80 hours per month. Because of the cost of training and the value of time building in turbine aircraft, co-pilot recruits are required to sign-on for two years. Once co-pilots hit 1200 hours of flight time they qualify for an upgrade to Captain and pay starts at $55/hr. All recruits are also offered a pathway to Skywest Airlines upon completion of their two years with Southern Airways.
