Captain Pay
When you upgrade to captain do you start at year one captain pay or does your pay reflect your years with the company? EX. If you upgrade after three years do you get third year captain pay?

Most airlines pay their Pilots based on Years of Service, just like the government does for military pay scales. A pilot is paid a set rate based on thier seat and years of service. A pilot that has 4 years at the airline, then upgrades to Captain will be paid at the relative 5 years of service Captain pay. If the pay began at year one it would need to be significantly adjusted upward to offset the current pay system.
The only pay that remains constant for all years of service and all seat positions is the per diem rate. Expenses one the road are equal for all.
Good Luck

So why does UPS or any other carrier have year one pay for a captain at 33?

Me too....god we are newbs!
Thanks christ too...the upgrade pay from a 3-4 year FO at XJT or SKW to year one captain pay wasn't that great. At least there is some light at the end of the tunnel.
