That was actually pretty rare, and you typically had to pay for it. Most of us had 1500/300+.
And then we got stuck as FO's for seven years if you were lucky, furloughed and out of the industry if not. Started at $19K, worked your way up to $32k. And um, yeah about that... no bonuses either.
It's horrible how bad today's entry-level pilots have it... they have to get 1500 hours (like most of us) AND some of them won't top $300K until after the age of 30!
