Last year 41k before tax. Not the best but love the crew. Get standby travel on BA, Virgin, Delta, etc etc.
Captains get worked hard but pay not bad once you add extras on. 80-85ish some guys work loads of days off which really bumps pay up.

Cabin crews in our orange company (euro based) are getting that kind of money. And it is pretty sad if you have to work your days off to get an acceptable salary...
The only reason to jump from corporate (which I did a few years ago) is job stability: two of my previous company went bankrupt in the last 3 years, with little warning signs.
In the airlines you will work much harder, but at least you won't be worried about not having a job overnight.
