I made $137k last year, half of which was at first year pay. And that's just my flight pay, does not include everything else.
Oh and nevermind the 11% longevity raise and 3% contractual raise that you can plan on...
Yea I will make a fair amount more on year 2 pay at my airline, and we are the 5th highest paid. I don't mean to make fun of the 18 year guy making 110k but man, get out get out get out and go make some real money and be happier.
