I know that you're trying to ignore me, but $166,000 was not the average for all SWA pilots. You can repeat it all you want, that doesn't mean that it's right. The data that you're using is obviously flawed.
Take a good look at this page:

Take a good look at the P-10 data listed, it's obviously wrong, you can't possibly think that it's correct.
TransStats will pick up a revision next week...
After the revision, the correct average wages should be able to be calculated, and it will be higher than $186,000. Matter of fact, my estimation is at around $193,000 per year average for all SWA pilots including those with their own business, those in the reserves, blah blah blah.
I'll get to total compensation later.
