Usually the compensation package isn't really that well known to most people. At both my "regional" jobs, I heard that it was into the 6 figures.

Probably also depends on the company, also, being management they probably get bonuses on top of their regular salary.

I have had the privilege of working under some outstanding chief pilots, and some not so outstanding ones as well. Very few guys are are able to be managements beyotch and keep the pilots in line as well as garner the respect of the majority of the pilot group.

Seems like the good ones don't last too long. It's not a job I would ever want to do.
