Those numbers are crazy low. You can make more than the average Captain's salary as an F/O by year 2 or 3 at a major. Maybe there's a lot of perks or something other than pay that keep pilots there.

With the top tier or HNWI departments, you'd likely be offered several "soft benefits" you will not find with the majors. Combine that with initial schedule, commuting & 3-5 legs a day......many of us are quite happy to stay put. It would take me years to break even with pay & even longer to find a comparable schedule to what I'm currently provided.

Salary surveys are self-selecting by the respondents; I wouldn’t put much stock in them as “absolutes”. Plenty of large-cabin pilots do better, esp with HNWI owners. A friend of mine lost his son in Iraq; his owner chartered jets to fly all his family and guests to the funeral and attended himself. Hard to price that out.

Avg: 197,475
Min: 135,400
Max: 282,000
Median:190,000
90th %: 249,724
For just plain old CA those same data points are (Table 55):
166,152
92,500
254,404
165,000
210,000
I think "Senior CA" has some additional duties, instructs junior personnel, flies multiple types, etc.
