Year 1 base pay at a 72 hour ALV with no profit sharing is $104,276.

Year 2 at 72 hour ALVs with no profit sharing is $143,614 (B717), $147,640 (A220), $159,684 (A320/B73N), and $165,006 (7ER/321). In Year 3 the 717 base becomes $168,074.

Especially in those first 2 years, there is a lot of incentive for FOs to use the available tools to make extra money. It’s odd to me that any pilot would disparage another for working the system to do that.
