Do Airline Pilots Also Receive Pensions?

[Good-Person]

Being a pilot is one of the hardest jobs in the world. They have to take care of many things when it comes to flying an aeroplane. Pilots are one of the dangerous professions as well. I just hope that when it comes to receiving pensions, pilots also receive their share as well. So, is this really the case?

Pilots can retire at 65 and become eligible for pensions, albeit the sum they obtain will depend on their employment and the laws of their nation. In some circumstances, if their employer lacks the resources to appropriately finance their pension plan, pilots may see their pension benefits cut or terminated.

Pilots are also workers and there are no different from any other kinds of workers that receive pensions and anything that is applicable to all other workers should be applicable to them in this regard.

In our country, pilots in state owned aviation companies offer pension plans to their pilots, the private airlines do not offer pension but they give access to retirement funds to the employees who have worked for a long time.

I recently heard that many pilot in my country are resigning from their jobs. I think that they are not being compensated well. This may also have an effect on the rate of pensions they may be receiving. The government is deducting a huge amount of taxes when it comes to salary payments.

There is one state owned airline in my home country, and it does not have a huge fleet, so staff is also comparatively low. The private aviation industry is quite big.
