It was never a Cadillac a year. It was a Cadillac a month. Delta guys just about had it a few years ago. A 777 capt could make $30,000/mo. That is just about what an (entry level) Cadi costs. Will we ever see those days again? Ah, that qestion has been asked and answered many times before on the pages of this forum. No need to repy SkyHigh.
