2F FOs make 15 to start with 50/day and perdiems based on the trip (sometimes there is one, usually there isn't).
H7 on APC has a payscale of 23,000 to start.
23,000 is how much a 2F FO can make flying 180 days in a year and timing out. Most of us fly much, much, much more than 180 days in a year and most come close to, if not, timing out.
CAs at 2F make 50/hour plus 1.50 each year of seniority. On a time out year they earn 70,000 to start, ERAs best CA pay is on the Dash and that shows 47,500 to start. At 20 year seniority looks like ERA Dash CAs do 79,000, at the 2F rates they'd be making 112,000. Also being in the training depatment can have you break the 100,000 mark by your 5th year.
