Question about the Concorde

[Turbolag]

I was just wondering what the FO, the FE, and the Captain on the concorde were making. Does anyone know? My friend once told me the pilots make around 70k a year. Does anyone know the pay rate. Just curious.

presently, my guess would be there isn't much of a living to be made on the type - as far as I know, they're all retired and on display at various museums.

i seem to recall seeing a show about them on history/discovery back when they were in "revenue" service - not sure about the FE, but the CA had to have previously been a CA on the 747 - I'm guessing the pay was well beyond $70k...don't you know? all airline pilots are rich and make tons of money while working 2 days a month!

but yeah, as far as I know, they've all been parked for several years...

Whoa! Swing and a miss The poster obviously knows they aren't flying since he asked how much they WERE making and not how much they ARE making.

Their pay would match whatever seniority they had. I could possibly see a FE making $70,000/yr. I remember from a documentary that a co-pilot said he could have been captain on a 747 but instead chose to be a first officer on the Concorde.

critical reading skills? for a kid in law school? nahh...those arent important.

aside from that miss, I'd like to think I was correct on the pay being more than $70k...if not, well, come on ump! that was a ball! wayyy outside the zone :crazy:

Haha, thank you AirVenture. I remember watching the documentary,. the last flight of the concorde. I know my stuff.....I keep getting offers from ALL these airlines and cargo companies.....Delta, Southwest, UPS, Fed-Ex......but I usually wake up half way through
