They pay more than the regionals for sure. They don't top the majors here though. About 300k is the top I've seen for capt pay in China. That can be exceeded here although it may take a longer time to achieve. Im still considering going overseas. Why make 60-100k here and wait for the majors to call when you can make 200k+ for 2 on 2 off.
