I'm really not sure if this place is right for me. The pay is a little low. Is there any opportunity to pick up time and a half? $47,840 is a little low for an airline pilot even if it is just year one. How long to upgrade. I see max first officer pay is 36.62/hour. That comes out to about $76,000/year. Still low, but managable since flying is the greatest job in the world. The status alone of being a 190 pilot should help me pick up chicks.
