You guys have it wrong.
East narrowbody Captains (A320 and under) make $124 per hour under LOA 93 (their CH 11 paycut). West Captains (all) make $ 142/hr pus Intl override for flag ops to HI.
Sully, though, had a management job created for him that paid closer to $200K per year, and he never had to show up at the office. No one at the training center has seen him since the job was created.

125x72x12=108,000
