Junior captain on the property making only $70 an hour at year four should see $80k minimum. -- Unless they sit on reserve all of the time and never break guarantee. (which is highly unlikely)
15+ year captains can do $120K easy. And it's why most of them aren't interested in starting over somewhere else.

I've made about 1200*hourly rate annually my entire career here without trying hard. I think a 7-year ERJ captain should have no problem clearing 100k, could be done at 5-years but you'd need to pick up flying.

I agree with all of the above except: PER DIEM IS NOT INCOME.

Technically Skywest is doing us a favor by paying per diem on day trips. They really don't have to, but it seems to be industry standard. You're not really "away from base" on a local. Consider it extra beer money.

Per Diem is income paid to an employee to cover meals and expenses that under certain defined circumstances is not taxable. Period.
Any point beyond that that you're trying to make regarding how we SHOULD get paid or how we SHOULD compare pay rates is semantic.

It most certainly IS part of your AGI if it is paid while working at you home base or for any amount in excess of the federal standardized rate.
