1. How much money could I expect to earn in the first few years?
2. What is the junior base?
3. How much money out of pocket do you pay for health insurance?
4. How many days do you work per month?
5. How long do you stay on reserve?
6. What is the 401k like?
7. Do you like working for your company?
Thank you in advance!
I'll bite. I'm not an FO for either company.

2. UAL-EWR, DAL-??
3. Whatever it is, you'll be able to afford it.
4. 16-20 until you get off reserve, and then less unless you bid open time.
5. Awhile. Years, depending on equipment and base.

7. My conversations with United pilots have been less positive than those with Delta pilots. Either way, should you work for either of those companies, you will be a pilot at a major airline who can expect to reap large rewards after several years of successful service.
