Current FOs will be paid $40.28/hr min 75hr/month plus $20,000 paid $2,500 every 3 months or until they upgrade.
Most junior FO line holder CLT May '15.
Captains will get an extra $7,500 paid in 3 $2,500 installments starting Jan 1 2017.
Current upgrade is July '15 and increasing. YMMV
But doesn't a 2nd year FO and a 3rd year FO still make the same amount? As upgrade times increase and FOs make it into a 4th year won't they then be making less than 2nd year FOs? Also if you upgrade a day after they sign this TA in it sounds like you won't be receiving the $7500 bonus. It seems like close to upgrade FOs could possibly be the ones really not seeing much from this. If you're on 3rd year FO pay then you only get about a dollar an hour raise while all over FOs get a significant raise. These 3rd year FOs also won't see but one or two of the bonus checks because they will upgrade and then if they upgrade after the TA is signed they won't get the $7500 bonus? Just trying to understand this.
