Once activated (finished IOE, approximately 11-12 weeks after date of hire) first year pay for f/o and s/o is $54.35/hr. So ... $54.35 x 950 hrs/yr = $51632. Not bad for first year pay. Is there better first year pay anywhere else?
5th year widebody f/o pay will be $145/hr. $145 x 950hrs/yr = ~$138,000 plus overtime. For the past 10+ years you could be a 727 Capt after 5yrs at $194/hr. Past performance does not predict future ....

Do newhires ever start out immediately as a S/O in the DC-10? Or do you go to the 727 first then bid for the DC-10 S/O seat after you're there (am I on the right track?)? Just curious...
