Yep, as a "ferry" captain (U.S Merchant Marine Officer to anyone who knows what they're talking about ;) ) I easily made that.  I quit over a year and a half ago with 15yrs of service (8yrs as captain) and now make more than double. ;)  No point in staying with PERS underfunded by $billions of dollars when I can make more in the private sector.

But to you we were always just "ferry captains" Art. ;)  One of the biggest reasons I left, attitude is still the same.
