Going through my garage yesterday I found an old FAPA salary survey. There is too much info to list is all here but here are a few examples. First though, consider inflation. If you apply the rule of "72" you see that if inflation is 3.6% per year, it take 20 years for prices to double. Consider this when you see how much guys used to be paid.

Northwest 747 CA 162,000
Delta L1011 CA 160,800
Flying Tigers 747 CA 174,000
United 747 CA 160,800
USAir 727 CA 141,137
American DC 10 CA 142,400
B727 CA 118,200
DC9 CA 111,700

Horizon F28 or DHC 8 CA 40,200
Comair SF340 CA 35,500

There is a lot more info in this survey. I will try to post it as a scanned document soon.
