Pilots salary and benefits are wide ranging. 2 guys doing roughly the same job can be on wildly different salaries.
At my company a year 1 capt will just about make a 6 figure salary with a pretty good benefits package to boot. My mate at another airline is a year 1 capt and gets just half that with almost no additional benefits yet they both have the same responsibilities, work the same sort of hours etc. Go figure.
