First year pay is what it is. If you get off reserve prior to your 1 year mark then you can deff make extra money.

By the way, I took home $2376 last month after taxes and that's on 7 year pay. And no, I'm not joking.

IMO it still does not justify a professional Airbus pilot netting less than 40K the first year however. I knew the salary - it's my choice. Should it be more ? (I.e. The recent new hire increase at AA)-Absolutely.
Why do I say that? AA pilots compromised QOL for money.
