It may come as a shock to you (and perhaps some others) but before Emmery Air Express went out of business, their DC-10 captains were making 333K per year...flying freight!!
I worked for Emery. I don't know where you are getting your numbers but I never met a captain, either in the DC-8 or DC-10, who made more than $200,000 in a year at most. Even at the top of the pay scale the most senior DC-10 captain would have made about $150,000 a year at guarantee. We had ways to make extra money there but making an extra $180,000 a year over guarantee would be quite a stretch.
