According to the WSJ calculator, a DC9 FO with 5 years at Delta, flying 75 hours per month, is in the top 19 percent of US household income.
In the U.S., the top 1% earn more than $380,000 per year.
But in the world, the top 1% just earn more than $34,000 per year.
Top 10% in the world just earn $12,000 per year.
Top 20% earn $5,000 per year.
The top 0.1% earn... $70,000 per year.
So at the worst regional airline here, a new hire FO is in the top 10%. Of course, say at GoJet for an example, you'll never break into the top 1% ($34K) as an FO on reserve.
But put that to the side for a moment, at this point in time our entire pilot group is in the top 0.1% of earners in the world.
SO COME ON GUYS! LET'S MAKE IT RAIN LIKE WE'RE RAY LEWIS AT A CLUB ON A BUCKHEAD FRIDAY NIGHT!
