Pro Pilot Magazine Salaries

[wolfpackpilot]

Looking in my latest arrival of Professional Pilot, I see this years 'Pilot Salary' report.

Why it has airline figures in here when the vast majority of the readers are Corporate Pilots I dont know, but could someone verify these numbers?

No flame bait, just curious if this report is correct.

Delta Max Capt.

WPP--I think UPS and FedEx skew the CA pay a bit. With hourly rates for NB CA at UAL, USAir, NWA, Delta, etc. in the $125-130/hr. range, the $145k/year is a bit over the top.

Same with FO pay. $91k is a little high for the pax carriers.

How's the family? Hope things are going well. NJA steal your seat yet? TC
