What is the average income of a cargo pilot?

How much do Fedex and UPS pilots make in a year?What is the average income of a cargo pilot?
Well Fed Ex and UPS pilots are at the top of the list in pilots and have been flying for a long time. I would not be surprised if there average salary was around $120,000 I know the most senior captains can make up to $200,000 a year but that is after A LOT of time flying.


Now for a cargo pilot flying a 747-200 for Atlas or Southern Air their average is probably more around $65,000-75,000 and for a pilot flying smaller planes like Cessnas or older props they will be lucky to make more than $30-35,000.What is the average income of a cargo pilot?
A cargo pilot, like passenger airline pilots, will make anywhere from $30,000 to $200,000 USD / year or so. Most cargo pilots are on the lower end of that scale. FedEx and UPS are two of the top paying airlines and they will be at the upper end if you stay with them long enough. Almost every airline pilot out there would love to work there because of the pay and stability. They are also 2 of the most difficult airlines to get an interview with. You have to know several pilots who fly for them and who have also flown professionally with you. Not only that, you typically need to have one of them sponsor you.
I flew cargo (mail) for 5 years as a first officer on a grand caravan, there were teenagers working construction who made more then me...
