Numbers like that are thrown out everyonce in a while, but typically has more to do with a pilots familiarity with how to "work the system" inside their company's constraints...end result, it's not the "norm" for most pilots with a company...
I know it's all about how a company works "soft time" and that it's possible to make big $$ with certain airliners...but if EVERY pilot was doing it at that company, the company would be out of business...I'd be more curious what a 4 year CRJ FO makes who simply "flies the line".
