If you learn the contract, and the ins and outs of the OT, 30/7, transition and some other rules, it is not too hard to make 45+ as a realatively new FO. More senior FO's are making 60... it isn't great, and yes, you do have to play the system like a harp from hell, but once you get the hang of it, it's fairly easy to do.... it sure beats working for a living though. Many CA's here doing 120k with 19 day off lines...
