Huge pilot shortage everywhere. Have friends who have been flying abroad for years and have been raking it in.
Some tried commuting, and couldn’t stand it. Others moved–some with their families–and couldn’t stand it, but stayed for the money, and still others have stayed and and really enjoy it. Never appealed to me, since we have too many other things going on here.
Income in the states varies by the carrier, whether you fly domestic or international, union contracts, etc., but $300K+ is not uncommon per the above, at certain levels of seniority.
