Are you talking about captains only?
And are you factoring in the 3-5% reduction in profit sharing over the past 3 years? (Also on the low side)
Unless pilots are flying 80 plus hours every month, and run to the phone for a green slip, $200/ year certainly doesn't seem average.
Well, for first officers at least.
