Not necessarily. The FO just can't be paid more than a captain would at the same longevity on the payscale.

(FO bonus + min salary) < (CA bonus + min salary)

Y1 CA makes $59,000 + $6,000 bonus = $65,000. Y1 FO makes $31,000 min salary. That's a difference of $34,000. That's how much bonus money the company is allowed to pay Y1 FOs without paying the captains any more.

Do the same math at each pay scale to find the lowest difference. That is the max allowable retention bonus, before they must pay more to captains. I do not see a limit on the signing bonus, however.

Tons of open time... couple that with the 200% critical time pick-ups and you can make decent money (relative to the norm).

I'm thinking about submitting my application today. I see that they recently raised the pay and the minimum days off are around 11-12. Will they give me difference training as well on the 700-900 or is it just the 200?

If you haven't yet, I would suggest going back in this thread about 6 months and reading it all forward. Caveat Emptor.

But again, with an announcement and some better recruiting, everything could get better.
