Income and wealth are two entirely different things. Its not about how much you earn, it's how much you keep. Personally dunno why you would ask, or for that matter care if someone else did.
I hear you! Had I known about the lack of pay I might have made aviation a hobby. I get a kick how everyone assumes all the destinations are fun filled resort style adventures.

Back in my Freight Dog days, I flew with a guy from your neck of woods. Climbing the ladder there is a bit more of a challenge from what I've heard.
