$89,000 for a senior captain?

No wonder they can't attract applicants. My flight attendants make more than that. Every time some industry association starts whining about the dearth of applicants there is usually a poor wage problem.

Just for reference, I last flew freight in 1984 in a turboprop. I was paid $78,000 then.
