When I interviewed there they told us to expect to make 23 to 24k in the first year... I guess I'll find though
Of course everything changes. today they just posted 16 more upgrades. I think this will go to the middle of Feb. Maybe by the end of January they will post some more. This should bring the upgrade time down to just under 3 years. 2.5 years to 3 i believe is very reasonable for upgrade.
As for the pay...Figure $23/hr for 72hrs a month. You will be on reserve and this is the minimum. When i sat reserve 1.5 years i rarely flew over 72hrs. Most of the time i was around 70. Although one month i only flew 3 hrs. Anyway figure $19872 for the first year pay plus per diem. More then great. But i like to go to the bank on worst case.
