Pilot pay scale interpretation
When a FO who has been with an airline for say 5 years, upgrades to captain, does that person start at 5 year captain pay or 1 year captain pay.
I was just curious because the Continental pay scale says that a first year captain makes $30 per hour.. just didn't seem right to me. In that case, he would be taking a pay in the transition from FO to CA.

I'll have to look at the contract, but I think the $30/hr Capt. reflects a contractual first year pay without reference to status. As you might guess, there are no 1st year Capt's so it not really relevant.
