Not really. The truth is, even after all of the paycuts, pretty much every Captain at all the majors and legacies is making over $150k. The FedEx and UPS guys are making much, much more (over $300k in most circumstances), but the wages of most major airline Captains exceeds the figures you see in the salary surveys they post every year. Hell, ASA has ATR Captains making over six figures. The salary surveys aren't lying. It just seems like it when you're a first year FO at a regional.
