And I'm not saying that the figure isn't "eye opening" Never said any such thing. What I AM saying however is that it is not as simple as some here like to make it out to be.
I think 100K a year as an average might be a little bit high, but not by much. My guess would be between 75 and 100K.
However there is really no reason to guess as this information is readily available and I sure hope the NC guys have it. Divide total Pilot costs in 2004/total Pilots. That will give you an average for that year. Do the same for the following years and bingo you can get your answer.
