What is wrong with the truth? Mechanics know what the pilots make why should the pilot group not know what the mechanics make? The 3rd year mechanic I know is a friend of mine and I have thought about giving up the flying side to be home every night(I am also a mechanic).

I'm long gone - but, that info was all in SWOL under "manuals" "pubs" somewhere buried in the online policy manuals. The mechanics have different "steps" "overrides" Etc., but, I want to say the average mechanic makes in the high 20s-mid 30s an hour. Different bumps for leads, sups, specialist etc.. a long time maxed out mechanic can easily clear 100k+..3rd year? More like 60-80k maybe....

The info on MX pay is available for anyone that wants to look at it. The 3 year/10 year claim is highly doubtful.
One interesting thing to note is that they are getting 4-5% annual increases to their rates compared to our typical 1% or less.

I'm not saying he didn't work overtime to get there, but his base pay is well beyond what the pilots are making, and they are offering them raises again.

Your typical 10 year captain is making a lot more than $83K as well.

Well a 10 year captain sitting reserve, never breaking guarantee, and getting bonuses on the smaller side would make around $83k a year minimum. That would take nearly $40 an hour for someone working the typical 40 hour week. Even at $30 an hour with 10 or so hours a week of overtime you'd only be getting about what a captain would be getting sitting at home all of the time.
