Good point Canam...I'm so used to be taxed up my arse I forget that take home for a first year RJ pilot is probably the same as what a 30K per year FO makes.
Yabadaba, I don't consider CMA to be a legitimate company at all. While there are companies like that, there are many more that are willing to pay you well and treat you well for your work. I'm fortunate and blessed enough to work for one.
Jazz is considered a major here. The pay is the same as AC's and tops out pretty high.
