You know personally of someone making such a salary? Can you back this up or is this just rumor? Sounds like the kind of story that gets passed along by your drunk uncle starting with "a friend of mine said that a friend of his.."

Thank you for the links- Extraordinary claims and all that. Still none of the articles claim that >400k is representative of an average operator. As the article says, France has stronger unions than we do but their costs are way lower. Personally, I've never met, or talked to anyone who has ever met an active member of a labor union. So for me they are semi-mythical organizations to begin with.
