I would love the chance to start as an FO and grow with the company. Also does CA pay top out after a few years? It has been said here in previous posts that Captains start around $60k a year, but does that number keep increasing after year 2,3,5,10? Thanks in advance.
Once FO's get their ATP they are eligible for upgrade. I believe there is also a time in type requirement also but that may go away. On paper an FO needs recommendations from check airmen so you can say its performance based. I don't have the full pay scale but I believe captains top out at 75K for your standard 72 hour/mo captain. Our scale goes up to 5 years I think but it may change as we are only 2 years old.
