Salary survey published

By Janice Wood · May 2, 2010 ·

The National Air Transportation Association (NATA) has published its 2010 annual survey report of general aviation service employee compensation. The report includes salaries and benefits for pilots, line-service personnel and maintenance technicians.

Compensation is broken down by geographic region of the country, the company’s gross sales, the size of the town or city in which the company is located, and by the number of employees in the company. In addition to pilots and maintenance technicians, the report includes compensation for inspectors, line service, and customer service representatives, among others.

Association Research Inc., an economic research firm based in Rockville, Maryland, conducted the salary study. For privacy reasons, none of the individual responses are provided to NATA.

The report is provided to NATA members who participated in the survey at no cost. The downloadable pdf version is available for $125 for non-participating members and $299 for non-NATA members. There is an additional $25 charge to receive a hard copy of the report.

For more information: NATA.aero.
