Pretty sure that's a generic number. Lots of opportunites at DAL (and UAL) for making extra cash above standard minimums. They have Green Slip flying and other incentives. We have Senior Manning etc etc. There are a number of guppy CAs here at UAL making $300-350k/yr by working the SRM game and working their tails off during the summer and holiday seasons. I think the charts are just simply an "average" for the everyday Joe who flies his line and collects his paycheck. And nothing at all wrong with that either!
