Regional captain pay.
 
What you say regional captains generally top out at?

Around $85K, or do they see 6 figures?

Where I work, I know of a couple of very senior captains who made over 190k last year. Most of this involved strategically dropping trips and picking up other flying that paid out at 200%, or using vacation time and picking up additional flying then too. I'd say that if you just flew a normal schedule, a topped-out captain would probably make 130k or so with almost no effort.

9th year scale at SkyWest: $110,000 all inclusive (per diem, bonus, BHO, (a little bit of user time/vacation), etc.

Not a check airman.

We top out at year 20.

I'm guessing 9E Capts are making the most. Tons of premium pay + the $20K per year bonus adds up. $130,000 + easily if you are willing to work a couple premium days per month.

SKW check airmen right now making $120-140K (things are busy).

$100K likely by year ten for line pilots.

What happens after yr 4 and the bonus goes bye, bye?

envoy captains will get displaced to FO and they will keep their CA's pay. Id be fuming if I was an FO.

Goodluck!
