I sometimes think pilots are also out of touch with reality. $75k for a first year CA (4th year pay), $80k for a 5th year guy, $92k for a 7 year guy...that's a lot of money for a 50 seat CA working 14 - 16 days a month.

Don't even try and compare our job set to a doctor...you can't write a $50k check and 90 days later be a doctor.

If you want more pay go to corporate, you are dispatch, mx coordinator, customer service desk, flight attendant, pilot, cleaner, and sometimes chauffeur. That's why they make more money.

It almost sounds like really like what you do but want more money. Everyone wants that. Judging by your past you are more than qualified to make a jump to another more lucrative position somewhere else.
