Captains getting command now not quite, but not a zillion miles away.. Guys on the legacy contracts? More, as well as base captains. It can also heavily depend on your country, the Italian contracts are leading the pack.
Regardless though, after 34 yrs and in command of an airliner belonging to the national carrier, to even be comparable to FR salaries has shocked me a bit. I thought it was a lot more. I accept staff travel and the like also have worth .. but so does the 5/4 ..
