You will be told to drink plenty of liquids to replace lost fluids and to avoid strenuous activity for the remainder of the day.
Your blood volume will return to normal within hours after donating blood if you follow the guidelines for drinking liquids. It takes several weeks, however, to replace donated blood cells and platelets.

Did not know that pilots could not give blood, but I am only a bus driver, so no kudos there then. For more details please see official website at:

I give blood platelets about every 3 or 4 weeks, which is the most that is recommended, but do not get paid for it. You have to have given blood at least once, and then pass additional blood tests after this.

The difference with pilots is that they are operating at altitude. The oxygen carrying capacity of the blood is therefore more critical. People who live at high altitudes develop more red blood corpuscles to more efficiently transport the lower amounts of oxygen. Nothing wrong with being a bus driver. My sister is one!
Pilots can donate blood, but doing so means they have to leave 72 hours after donating blood or 12 hours after donating plasma, before being able to fly again, but it depends on their ops procedures/guides.
Some say 14 days and some say longer. But the 72/12 seems to be the generic rule.
The CAA states: Aircrew are advised that in order to prevent the very slight risk of post-transfusion faintness or syncope they should refrain from donating blood or plasma if they are required to fly within twenty four hours.
