Is he a direct entry captain/check airman? Half a million a year at a regional?
Yep, a $100k signing bonus. The longevity transfer has him going in about $210 and hour. The $65 check airman over ride (his time in their type qualifies him to be a check airman very quickly) and the 200% and 300% over rides going out on open trips means that they are making bank over at these places.

Every CA and FO qualifies for the 200% and 300% over rides, and they are plentiful lately. Will that music stop, of course, but he's only got a few years left in 121, so why not max it out. Even without the check airman pay he'd be getting $400 or $600 per hour on those 200/300% OT trips.
