There are no captains on the major airlines making $20k. Smaller, regional airlines is where you get scraps. I would be surprised if the number of First Officers making less than $50k was very big, flying for major airlines. Captains can make $200k+. Most are probably in the $150k range depending on how many hours they fly.
