I don't want to start this again, as I hit on this earlier in the thread, but;

Those salaries, except for the Regional CA, and FO salaries, are more than, or equivelant to what you would make in any other career field, except some specialty fields, like doctors. As for the regional pay listed above, it is, for the most part, where people's salaries who do not work in aviation tend to fall. Most people I know, outside of aviation, have had their salary top off at around the $75-$80K/year range.

The issue here is not that pilots are "underpaid", and hurting for money, except maybe a first year regional FO, but they simply believe that they are underpaid for what they do. I think a distinction needs to be made as far as that is concerned. I have a hard time understanding why a pilot making over $100K/year can come across as though he is penching pennies, yet I know numerous people making less than that in other fields, and they are living a good life, have a nice home, cars, family, etc. I don't think it is an issue of being "underpaid" as compared to other career field's salaries, but yet, underpaid for the job, and all involved with being a pilot.
