I know there are more ways to make extra at larger airlines than at the Regionals. So, how much can I expect to make in the 2 to 4 year range?
Once off RSV, you can work yourself to death should you feel the need to. FLICA yourself in to extra flying, RSA, VDA, ect... That second year pay will be whatever your seniority will hold and how savvy you are with the computer and what you're willing to abuse yourself with. The 320 May pay more, But right now, most of the movement will be on the 190 for some time. Lots of locks are expiring.
