The first year FO at pay at all the LCCs is really low and then almost doubles in year two. I forgot to account for that
And you will be on training pay for a few months, which is often peanuts.
You should pretty easily make 60k as a regional FO and you should plan to work as much as possible to compress your timeline by some years. You do not want to wait 4 years to upgrade and 5-6 years to move on. After 2 years you should be planning to move on to LCCs or even legacies.
Breaking 100k as a junior regional CA is not easy.
