It depends on what domicile you live in and whether you're able to move. I lived in an RJ only domicile and commuted to the Brasilia for a year and a half. I held a line for about a year or that. When I transitioned to the RJ I was right back to reserve, but I was on reserve at home so it was worth it to me.

On first year pay you'll almost definitely make more money on the Brasilia. On 2nd year pay if you're going to be on reserve on the RJ or especially if you're going to be commuting to reserve you'll probably still make more money staying on the Brasilia. Lineholder on the bro vs RJ reserve on 2nd year pay is about break even. On third year pay you're probably going to make more on the RJ even if you're still on reserve.



Everything is based on longevity at the company. If you transition at 3 years you go to 3 year RJ pay. If you upgrade to captain at 7 years you go to 7 year captain pay.
