Group I CA 2 second year pay = Group II FO 6th year pay.
G1 CA 12th yr pay = between G2 FO 9th/10th year pay
Vs a Group II CA pay?
G1 CA pay = 65% of G2 CA pay
By the time you can upgrade to CA on the 190 you could have been a G2 FO line holder for 1-1.5 years in PHL or LGA. The pay difference is less than $10,000 to go from a line holder to a reserve Captain for 1-1.5 years and it's only based in PHL.
190 line holder is approx. 3 yrs LOS. Taking that upgrade at the 3rd year incurrs a two year lock-in and might take away the quickest G4 FO or G2 CA opportunities. Taking a 190 CA bid also takes away the one time Captain upgrade exclusion that allows you to break an existing FO bid for your first CA bid. Guys happily use that, and hope to get withheld, as G4 FO's.
That's some of the factors why it's so junior. If the pay was 90-95% of G2 pay it would go more senior.
No arguments from me Slice. Just making sure people remember that it is an option and included in a thread titled "Junior CA Seniority" as it qualifies as such.Originally Posted by Sliceback
It's an AA Captain. Why is it so junior? Because of the pay. How many guys that have been on the property are bidding it? Almost no one, which is why it's so junior. Group I CA 2 second year pay = Group II FO 6th year pay.
