Any second year FO at any 121 supp makes more than a 2nd year captain there.
144/hr for a second year captain. Great wages.
You say "here" like you work at Amerijet, yet you don't seem to know much about the current pay structure.
$16,000 is pretty high for an FO at about 150 hours of credit for pay (more if you don't count per diem). Living in Miami and picking up good trips, that's doable. I'm guessing it could be done "working" 22-23 days of a roster.
Second-year FOs at places that fly the same planes as Amerijet seem to have limited success in breaking guarantee, so their rates aren't exactly the selling point you think they are.
Of course, QOL and pay increases are needed to keep up with the industry...did you know AJT is in active negotiation on a new contract?
