The flying public does not know how much an FO at a regional, a Capt at a Regional, or a new FO at a major makes. I have had people get mad at me when they ask me what a new FO at a major makes and I told them. Once guy got very mad and called me a liar as he went down the jetway. I told him that it takes about 10 years be become an FO at a major and then they make about 35k. He kept saying it had to be over 6 figures. Maybe the 6 figure income is correct, if you add in his wife's salary his pizza delivery job, and the bump when the tooth fairy takes one of his kid's teeth.
Its all a big secret from the public. But, without the airline pilot, all of these parent's basements would be empty.
