as much as I disliked RAH, Captain pay wasn't really a complaint...anyone on 8 year pay will get close to 100K or more even without any premium pay, etc.
most 15 year CA were making 120K and the CKA were clearing 130K...I heard the highest paid was a CKA who made 190K but he was also in the training dept.

Mileage varies. 9h year 170 guy. I've broken 100K the past three years with 110K my best all inclusive year last year.

I made $45k in my first 4 months on reserve at AWAC. As a very junior lineholder I broke $100k easily without doing much work other than working the system. Lots of 18-19 credit hour day trips really helped pad the pay check.

Pay rates matter, daily rates matter, seniority matters. A junior guy (reserve) can pick up every legal opportunity but only break guarantee (overall) by a little bit each month. A senior guy can do better. Understanding the contract with pickups and swaps can also earn more. If someone wants to make $100K at a regional, it's entirely possible. Earlier posts stated $190k, which I know has happened at my shop (260k is the best I know of), but it's a high seniority guy/higher pay rate/working hard type event. Making 100k+ junior is possible, but qol takes a hit to do it.

And for the record a topped out (12 year) captain on reserve might hit $100K if you include the full year's bonus money, and yes 12 years will have you on reserve in DTW or MSP. We don't get the "rolling thunder" or anything close to it here.
