First officer pay at 38 airlines flying the Boeing 777 runs from $7k to $299k a year gross, with a median of $100k. The highest figure in this list is at FedEx Express.

Figures come from collective agreements, official airline packages, the aviation press and, where nothing better exists, unofficial figures (marked). Updated 3 Nov 2026.
