they must be working their butts off. average jb 190 fo pay 80/hr year 4-5ish. 78X80=6240. say they get 85 hours/month. 1.5X80X7=840
840+6240=7080. 7080x12=84960 gross.
You would be correct if JB was a straight pay for hours worked airline. JB pilots get time and a half for every hour over 78. So in your math you need to make every hour between 78-85 at $120/hr. Now tack on the credit they are actually makeing per trip and duty rigs and you are over 100k/yr. This is without counting the 6Kish of perdium that a JB pilot will make. Some don't count this money as pay however it is money in your paycheck, regardless of what you use it for. So I count it.
So if you consider 15-17 days off a month working your butt off then yes they are.
