Well RAH caps FOs at 4 years....so an 8 year FO scale doesn't exist just yet. RAH artificially inflates their year 1 FO pay with a bonus paid in two installments. For the Q400 its $10k with a base in EWR. Which means your 2nd year you won't get a raise, or at least it will be smaller than what's on paper. But your second year you'll get an E175 that will have replaced all the Qs in EWR. As of right now the Ejets in the right seat are only good for one thing as far as career advancement and that's fulfilling Emirates greater than 30 tonnes limitation lol. CommutAir did get some great new contract additions. Pick your poison!
