At 350 hours they start getting Captain pay. At 500 hours and off of probation they will upgrade to captain. It is possible that the company will waive probation have them upgrade from FO to CA at 350 hours but it does not seem likely at this time unless the company gets desperate. Essentially they will serve as FO for 12 months then upgrade to CA.
