Answers:
Civilian pilots fly privately for pleasure, charity, or in pursuance of a business, for non-scheduled commercial air transport companies, or for airlines. When flying for an airline, pilots are usually referred to as airline pilots, with the pilot in command often referred to as the captain.
Legacy airlines such as American Airlines, United Airlines, and Delta Air Lines, long considered the most prestigious and lucrative employers, have slashed their pilot payscales and benefits in the face of fierce competition from low cost carriers. Nonetheless, captains at major airlines in the U.S. have an average salary of $129,250 per year. However, such salaries represent the upper level of airline pay scales. Salaries at regional airlines can be considerably less - in some cases, beginning First Officers earn less than $20,000 their first year. Pilots making very large salaries are typically senior airline captains, while pilots making very small salaries are generally low-seniority first officers. In practice, most pilots make reasonable average working salaries, though it is not particularly useful to talk about 'averages' because of the large variability. Based upon voluntary pilot reports, many U.S. airline payscales are listed here. Most Airline pilots are unionized, with the Air Line Pilot's Association(ALPA)being the largest pilot labor union in the United States.
In some countries, e.g. Pakistan, Thailand and several African countries, there is a strong relationship between the military and the principal national airlines, such that many or most airline pilots come from the military; that is no longer the case in the USA and Western Europe. While the flight decks of U.S. and European airliners do have many ex-military pilots, they have just as many if not more pilots who spend their entire career as civilians. With the increasing popularity of European-style airline training schools in the USA and the fact that military training and flying, while rigorous, is fundamentally different in many ways from civilian piloting, it seems likely that the percentage of ex-military pilots flying for the airlines will continue to decrease.

what is the status of boeing pelican? when will it be built?
In human spaceflight, a pilot is someone who directly controls the operation of a spacecraft while located within the same craft. This term derives directly from the usage of the word "pilot" in aviation, where it is synonymous with "aviator". Note that on the U.S. Space Shuttle, the term "pilot" is analogous to the term "co-pilot" in aviation, as the "commander" has ultimate responsibility for the shuttle.
