Base? Probably Chicago or the yet-to-be-announced southeastern US domicile. Denver will be tough to hold once the new domicile is announced and the relative size of the Denver domicile continues to shrink.
All this is my best guess and based on what I believe to be the typical experience of a new hire FO. I'm certain someone will come along within moments to claim that it's possible to make $50k in your first year. YMMV.
Wow, that's really low. My goal is a legacy but I was looking to get some 121 time for 12 months to help my chances. @38K would I be better off going to somewhere like Endeavor with the retention bonus or Trans States as a CQFO? I think annual pay is around 45-50K if I went that route.
