Dude, AMC, Med-Trans, Metro, AEL, all the bottom-feeders... they all have the same pay scale +/-1-2K/month.  

It will take you 30 years to make it to $100K for a career-field that's supposed to have "experienced" aviators flying their aircraft (i.e., this is not an entry-level job).  

Someone else can do the math here to show what your money will be worth in 30 years after inflation but regardless: making it to $100K THIRTY YEARS from now is ludicrous.
