FO pay is based on seniority. If 100 FOs are flying the CRJ, the top 100 FOs on the seniority list get CRJ pay. The pilots below them get Q400 pay, again with the number of FOs getting Q400 pay equal to the number of FOs qualified on the Q400. So the transition from one payscale to the next is not based on longevity, but on seniority and the fleet itself. Some FOs went 4 years before getting to the Q400 payscale, while the FOs moving to the Q400 payscale today have been at Horizon about a year and a half.
