I did about this averaging a little more in the hours department on third year FO pay.
Upgraded, this year was 4th and 5th year CA pay; on track to do $240k.
I should qualify this by saying that I hustle. Despite that, however, my QOL is far better than my former regional, which had trips very similar to those of a mainline narrowbody.
People will tell you that things are slowing here and that they don’t know why, despite management telling us several times: Our growth is dictated by our ability to source aircraft at a price acceptable to our management. If we can’t find cheap used aircraft, our growth will slow. If we can, our growth will explode.
My point in saying this is that your mileage will vary.
