Actually Boiler is a tad low (he said $40/60/80k). Here are the top paying salaries for new hires in the US (see
link). Wages should match other professions. There is no reason new pilots should get less than the others, the cost of training is the same, $60k from day one is the typical salary. But there is a glut of qualified pilots in the US and entry level wages are heavily depressed by the oversupply.
