I would almost argue that you could make more money first year on the brasilia if you wanted to. I hold a pretty high credit line right now on the Bro but I would be on reserve in even the most junior RJ bases. My paychecks more than doubled once I moved from reserve to a line holder. If I were on the RJ I would still be getting that reserve guarantee pay.
The movement stopping did affect me a bit though. They haven't run a transition class in a while and I'd really like to transition over to ORD. I live there and sitting reserve in domicile is started to seem better and better to me than a 4.5 hour commute.
