The super high dollar people are almost exclusively instructors. There are a few line folks who supposedly push the $300K mark but they are rare and have no life away from the airport.
Bottom line- fly your line, don't sell back vacation, don't draft/volunteer and a 15 year wide body captain should have no problem making $210,000ish under the current contract.
That'll drive a couple of people around here nuts.
