Must I worry about pilot jobs salary dropping?

there is little reason to worry about pilot salaries dropping anytime soon. Instead, the overall trend continues to be upward pressure on compensation across most aviation sectors.

Several key factors support this positive outlook:

  1. Persistent Pilot Shortage Industry projections forecast a continued global shortage of pilots driven by mass retirements and sustained demand for air travel. For example Boeing anticipates the need for 649,000 to 674,000 new commercial pilots by around 2043. North America alone will require over 123,000 new pilots in the next two decades.

  2. Rising Salaries Across the Board In the U.S. median annual wages for airline pilots copilots and flight engineers reached $226,600 as of May 2024, reflecting a significant increase over prior years. Entry level commercial pilots earned around $122,670 in the same period. Additionally global pilot salaries have climbed by 5–8% year over year through 2024–2025. Senior captains at major carriers now regularly earn between $350,000 and $700,000, depending on airline and route.

  3. Salary Growth Since the Pandemic Between 2020 and now pay increases have been substantial from 46% for mainline captains to 86% for regional pilots as per Oliver Wyman.

  4. Signs of Stabilization, Not Decline While business aviation salary increases eased to around 8% in 2024 they remain well above the national average. Meanwhile pilot hiring slowed from the 2022–2023 surge but the market has now reached a more steady sustainable pace.

Despite short term fluctuations in hiring activity there is strong structural support for continued salary growth bolstered by ongoing pilot shortages robust compensation increases and sustained industry expansion. So no you don’t need to worry the long term outlook remains very promising for pilot salaries.
