How Much Do Airbus A350 Captains Make Compared To Boeing 777 Captains In 2026?

The Airbus A350-1000 is emerging as the largest airliner that US-based airlines are willing to purchase (specifically, Delta). Meanwhile, American and United did order some Boeing 777-300ERs, but otherwise, they prefer the Boeing 787 Dreamliner. In the United States, the trend has been away from large widebodies to smaller widebody aircraft like the A330neo, 787 family, and A350-900.
