Lol lots of extra money my a$$! They will say anything, including in interview classes " we are close to finishing the contract" or my personal favorite " pilots are going to get a big raise very soon." Let me be clear as possible. It seems a contract is not close, you will not take more than 30k home first year, and you will not upgrade in 3 years. Those are the facts. Apply away though.
