Year 6 - $65k
Year 7 - $55k (took a paycut mid year when I left the regionals for AirTran)
Year 8 - $60k (projection for this year)

That's it so far. The first few years sucked, but it got much better after the Captain upgrade. Still not "good" pay, but livable. With any luck, I'll upgrade here in the next few years and finally be making some pretty decent money. You can definitely make it work. Just try not to get too deep into debt while working as a regional FO the first few years.
That will work for me!!! Thank you.
