There are 3 year captains at every Spirit base. With opportunities for trips being paid on top of guarantee, move up pay, and junior assignments, you can make in the $90s year 2 FO. Thats at $72 / hr current contract. When the new one is signed, I'm betting at least $95 / hr year 2.
I made $117k my last year as RJ Capt. Year 1 is a huge pay cut, but I have serious doubts my regional will even exist in 4 years.
