A quick Google search shows he paid about 15%. The total tax bill at the end of the year is probably less than someone living in the state of CA. Are you trying to say a regional pilot here making 30k has it better than a pilot making 55k in Canada? If so it looks like you are wrong.
That 15% is probably only for "federal" income taxes. They also probbaly pay close to 10 more % for "state" taxes and they have to pay for healthcare.
I thought I remembered hearing once that you could expect 35-40% of your check to be taken.
