I think WT is simply trying to figure out how the may have arrived at the 100,000 figure that is being discussed in this thread.
He most likely got the idea from the numerous regional airlines trumpeting total compensation figures that include per diem, ot, hotel, uniform allowances, etc.
Which obviously is grasping at straws and headlines.
