True, but second year pay is currently 102.29/hr x975 credit=99,732 and just around the corner on 01 January 2008 that is going to 111.75/hr or an annual min of 108,950. In Jan 2009 it is 121.69/hr or 118,648. Jan 2010 it is 132.12/hr or 128,817 and Jan 2011 it is 143.08/hr or 139,503. Not bad second year numbers.
Sadly or gladly, you will have most likely be on 74-4's or MD-11's out of ANC. The high value of the lines and overrides will add quite a bit to the bottom line. In your case, you are much closer to Capt I'm sure, so that works into the muddle of variables.
