Trying to understand.
First year would be mostly on reserve to half reserve/half flying.

The second and third year pay is assuming you work (or credit, two different thigns) 95 hours a month. This is easily done, at least for me, depending on what I want to do that month.

Keep in mind, the 4th year number was when we were short of CA's. I'm not sure if someone who just upgraded would be able to pull $75k. You'd have to live in base to do it (because most of the trips by the senior guys aren't for credit hours, its for commutability). At one point last year, newly-upgraded captains were getting positive-spaced (and PAID) for commuting. The company was THAT short .

Payscale (50 seat FO RJ):
1: 23.81
2: 34.86
3: 36.11
