Yes. A few DAL widebody CA's are making $600k+.
That's an extreme example that involves soft pays, and manipulating your schedule to fly high-yield and premium-pay (over-time) trips. Also the typical legacy 15-16% 401k employer contribution helps (contribution, not match).
SWA is famous for very flexible scheduling, which allows folks to maximize income if desired.
