Depends on the base. IAH 737 FO straight pay pick ups routinely go to pilots 2700-5500 on the seniority list. So let's be clear here unless you were hired prior to 2003 (ISH) good luck in IAH. On the flip side RSV in IAH 737 you simply do not fly. To make over $200K as a NB FO years 3-7 you have to hump. IE out of base pick up's or go to the 320 SFO/EWR who seem to have a lot of PP flying. The max being down has not helped.

That said, there are multiple situations where picking up trips would result in working for free...low credit vacation months and line values below MPG. Guys like me who sit reserve from home and don’t pick anything up love people who pick up trips for straight pay.
