I have a friend who is a captain (can't remember which airline right
now) and is making somewhere around $40,000, which isn't too bad. The
other guys I know who are flying right seat in turboprops are making
$17,000-$22,000. I don't know if that's next to nothing, but I know I'd
have to give up a lot on that kind of money.

A friend of a friend is the number one seniority copilot at ASA, based
out of SLC. He stayed a copilot until just recently because of the
schedule. Now that ASA is going to merge he told them he will be a
captain for the last 3 years of his career. He was making $60K as a
copilot and will be making $90K as a captain.
