This was the going rate back in 1997. To really make you feel bad, I was flying a Falcon 50 in 1999 as a captain for approximately 85K. (and that was after we were successfull in raising the pay from 58K) Welcome to the world of aviation. You will not get rich flying airplanes...it only took me 20 years to figure that one out.
Atleast, after numerous ups and downs, attaining the left seat of a 737-800 at a major airline and being displaced, 50% paycuts, bankruptcies, etc. with multiple do overs at different employers, I think I have finally found a stable home. Flying boxes seems to be where it's at.
Take care, and happy flying
