Your Big-3 FO counterpart, flying the same airplane, between MCO and LAS, with the same or less pax load, and a crew meal, makes even more. So much more, that by Year-2, he is at Frontier Year-10 FO pay. He also gets holiday pay, international pay, and 17%+ to his 401k.
By Year-4-ish, he is bumping up against Frontier Captain pay rates.
Glad you are happy with your earnings, which are more than your non-airline friends, and less than your airline friends.
Not being crass, but fair and equitable pay should be the goal.
