What is the highest gross pay you've gotten or heard of a helicopter pilot making in a year (as a helicopter pilot, not as a day trader, side business owner, etc.)? Not talking salary, but the gross income box on the last paystub of the year, which includes mileage, per diem, and overtime.

Personal = 2016 OCONUS 194k 

That dried up, back to 90-100k EMS :(

Heard of = Few of my friends fly in north east with a few private coroporations and they are around 190-220k.

Don't ask them about their schedule.. they don't really have one.

Made $325k per year with 52 days leave out of country--it was a good deal until tax time rolled around.  My wife had a good year and made a little over $200k, we wrote Uncle Sam a nice check in the final tally!

Why should per diem and mileage be included. They are for expenses incurred and not part of max gross pay. I never made a dime off of expenses.

OT hours should be stated. Different quality of life for a guy who makes $100K a year with no OT compared to a guy making $65K base but earning $100K after working mega OT.

Salary survery like yours skew the facts and make it look like average income in the industry is highes than actual.

One simple question, and now it's a survey?

I'll tell you why I asked for gross pay: Ease. The only other option would be to ask for FIT taxable wages, which would require math to add in non-taxable deductions like 401(k) contributions.

Working for a guy in Florida. Delivering several aircraft to central and south America. Then provided evidence to the federal government for import/export tax evasion with an immunity agreement.
