How Much Do V-22 Osprey Pilots Make Compared To Commercial Helicopter Pilots?

The Bell BoeingV-22 Osprey is one of the most unusual aircraft in military service, combining a helicopter's vertical-lift capability with a turboprop airplane's speed and range. But its pilots do not receive an equally unusual salary for such a specialized aircraft. A Marine Corps V-22 pilot is paid under the US military's officer compensation system, with rank, years of service, aviation incentive pay, and allowances determining the overall package.
