From what I gather. I don't know about 2nd year. But first is around $80. 12 year FO will be $197. Ca tops out at $290. Those are per hour rates I've heard. (Not per trip). DAL is gonna get a TA by year end. United will match. AA will match next year. UPS and FDX have monster pay scales. Spirit will hemorrhage pilots until they raise the pay. Going to need about $260-270 12 year CA at least by 2020 or I'm out. And I'll assume everyone will be as well. you're looking at MILLIONS over just 20 years if you don't make a move. Hopefully spirit management will see this. They F'ed up by not getting a TA before allegiant and now SWA. Now the bar is high. They will need to pay through the a$$. GREAT for the pilots though. Spirit has no motivation now to raise pay until flights start canceling. I heard we want 30/month hiring from here on out.
Just food for thought guys. Before you jump at scheduling call. If you hold out, we could get a giant pay bump sooner than later. Enjoy your days off and watch the wheels fall off and management scramble.
