Now, we also have premium pay, instructor pay, open time, in base guys, etc that on 5th year NB Capt pay make 400ish but, they are busting butt. Heck we have WB Capt doing 700k but they are big outliers with special gigs.
$250k is very achievable for a line holder living in base. 5th year line holding captain making $250k is not an outlier here. I’m a commuter, don’t try very hard and will be just shy of $250k for the year. If I lived in base I figure I could easily hit $270k+
