But even so there's always the risk of a COMAIR scenario in your mid-50's, with a couple kids in college...

Someone at ten years from now at Endeavor, if they were unable to move on, could probably be pulling in 140k without much effort at all and have a great schedule.
That's a pretty comfortable amount. I just wouldn't personally bank on any regional being stable enough to be around in ten years. Look how much has changed in the last five.

Yes certain markets are more expensive to live in than others. That's not what I was concerned with neither was whether or not one should be able to budget on a six figure income. Everyone has a different story.
If one averaged 100 credit hours a month they would need about $166 per hour to crack 200k. I'm not sure if we will see those kind of rates. Maybe something close to that and retention bonuses would put folks close to the 200 mark. I guess we will find out what the market forces in a few years.

It’s already being done by sim instructors and Check Airmen at YX. Apparently a few who eat sleep and breathe work are cracking $300K as Check Airmen.
