Sorry, this is completely inaccurate information. Like Boiler said, most guys I talk to in the 2-3 year range are pulling in 170-180K, gross. Consistent international drivers and/or guys who worked extra pushed into the 190's factoring in late arrivals and other premiums. I heard of 1 guy breaking 200 and that included a bunch of JA (time and a half callouts) Were you counting the signing bonus $$ from April 2017? I wasn't. Factoring in B-Fund (12% defined benefit)?
12 year FO's who work the system: I talked to one senior FO and he got close to 300K but that's with a whole lot of work. 400K?...dude, most captains I talk to don't even hit that number.
You post genuine info Ray but this one was way off base.
