Actually, even $80K is included in the top 10% of income, according to the Government. I think you are right about captains being hard pressed to find jobs paying the same, elsewhere. You do have your rare person making $250K working some odd job, but for the most part, what a captain at a regional makes, is what 90% or more of people in this country, holding a bachelors degree, will top out at. People aren't making as much outside of aviation, as some tend to believe; just the same as pilots aren't making as much as the general public tends to believe.
There is a difference between not making good money, and not making what you deserve. Pilots do not make bad money, they just do not make what they deserve. The only way to change that, is to fight it.
Here is a good way to make some extra money to suppliment the crappy regional FO pay.
