There was a chart in an aviation publication recently that spelled this all out by airline (including box haulers, whose pilots often make more than people carriers' do) and included starting wages by aircraft type, max pay, benefits, etc. so you got the complete picture. I know my husband took it took work, but if he still has it I'll copy it and send it to you. I'm thinking it was the Nov. issue of Aviation and Technology or something like that.
What I remember of it, UAL pilots were near the top, but not at it and maxed out around $175,000 (747 captain) before benefits package. TWA pilots are very low.
