Yeah, but where will that take you ?
Actually, starting is around 22.5K and with a little bit of extra flying and per diem, many first year pilots can pocket almost 30K. 30K and health care (travel bennies too) isn't a mint, but it's better than most CFI jobs and certainly better then the french fry cooker and a mop at Mickey D's.
At the very least it's part 121 jet experience and after a year or two the next move can be considered BEFORE you've got too much invested at Eagle or if it's working for you, you can stay and shoot craps. Expect a lot of these slots to be CRJ F/O positions in DFW and ORD for the shiny new jets that pilots love.
Most EMJ F/O's won't slide over.
