Current first year FO rate is $57.30 per hour. Short-call reserve guarantee is 79 hours per month and long-call is 75. Montly guarantee for a line holder is 75.
Assuming you sit short-call reserve and scheduling doesn't rake you over the coals every month, you are looking at $54,320 for the year.
Everything else (long-call reserve and lines) vary, of course.
Needless to say, the entire pay scale needs to be brought up to industry-leading levels. The FO pay here for the first 5 years is especially pathetic.
First year Horizon FOs are making more (with their bonus included) than ALK FOs.
