Not exactly accurate. On RSV yes you will not break guarantee. But once off reserve it's very very easy to make extra money. You can credit over 100 hours if you want too. Recently the 320 reserve time is about 6-8 months depending on your base. The 190 is about 10-12 months.
First year pay is what it is. If you get off reserve prior to your 1 year mark then you can deff make extra money.

By the way, I took home $2376 last month after taxes and that's on 7 year pay. And no, I'm not joking.

Six months ago we were probably not that far apart. As a 9K + pilot with a couple of types and turbine PIC, after passing phrase II, B6 required me to go to a regional for 200 hrs for more recency of experience. I was only doing 100 hrs a year contract and working at FlightSafety as an instructor. So I feel your pain. Since I made $387 a week as a first year FO at Envoy this is a raise. IMO it still does not justify a professional Airbus pilot netting less than 40K the first year however. I knew the salary - it's my choice. Should it be more ? (I.e. The recent new hire increase at AA)-Absolutely.

Why do I say that? AA pilots compromised QOL for money.

I'm sorry if I took it the wrong way. We all are excited to move onto Jetblue, and I don't want "it's better than a regional" to hurt our negotiations.
