possibly for someone who starts now. However the lines are steps not years so when you upgrade or transition to a different airframe, you always increase in pay. Not real sure if new hires get credit for experience or not.

That’s basically correct. You’re hired and start on step 1. Year 2 is step 2 and so on. If you transition it’s more complex. But they’ve pretty much halted all transitions.

I thought the same thing, the starting pay isn't bad but the steps are incredibly slow.

Those pay scales aren't realistic considering what the Regionals are now paying. Now if they hire SIC's who don't meet ATP mins it's not a bad deal for them.

Argus Wyvern and the insurance requirements determine the hiring mins for the larger 135s. If a guy or gal wants to work for a regional and do that type of industry work, then pay shouldn’t influence them either way. 135 is more work for less money, but IMO more rewarding. I realize that’s a minority opinion.
