Do airline pilots get overtime?

Ian Pullin (Retired British Airways Pilot) gives expert video advice on: How much can a successful airline pilot earn?; Do you sleep on a very long flight?; What happens if a passenger becomes seriously ill in mid air? and more...

Not really. There are incidental allowances when you might accrue more money. I don't know what the current situation with flying and pay is. Some airlines had agreements that if you did more than 720 flying hours during the year, they would pay you a pro-rata rate. That was never a British Airways way of doing things, and British Airways tended never to work up to the maximum. Economic requirements these days mean people do more flying than I ever did. We flew the amount we were required to.
