Also, the TSA pay scale is higher than the Endeavor payscale. There is NO way an Endeavor FO is making more than a TSA Captain. $20k equates to approximately $20/hour. So, the maxed out $39/hour on the 900 turns into $59/hour. So, a new hire FO will make more than a new hire FO at TSA until year three pay, when the TSA FO will be making more until that person retires or moves on to a higher paying job.

Mind you, 9E FOs are making as much, if not more than TSA captains (especially in training according to this thread)

You can argue 9E might not be around in a few years but an all 50 seat fleet doesn't exactly have more stability given current industry consolidation...

Continue on ladies and gents, i just thought I'd point out the irony in this thread's development.
