And they wonder why there's about a 70% attrition rate right now of separation eligible pilots in the USAF. Curtis Lemay is rolling in his grave...

First year 190 CA pay is $141. Seems to indicate that you can upgrade in the first year. LOS yearly increase is only $1/hr plus the 3% annual bump.
Second year pay the 190 CA pay beats Grp II FO by $27/hr. So even being a line holder wouldn't make the Grp II FO pay more. Year three the pay difference is $8/hr. At that point a line holder Grp II FO could earn more vs a 190 reserve Captain. So if you're chasing max bucks upgrading to 190 CA ASAP, especially in the first year, is the money winner. Before you hit year 3 LOS you can bid off(assuming upgrade in the first year). |

I had a commanding officer mandate it (yes in addition to flying 5 days a week and 2 weekends a month, we had to either 1) Take Grad School courses or 2) do volunteer work) for all of his pilots if they wanted to be competitive in he squadron.
