When is first year pay going to be on par with DL & UA? I don't think I can take the major first year hit at this stage. Having said that, if it's all about number of application windows you've applied to then I wouldn't be top of the list for quite some time, so maybe I should send one off? It's not like DL & UA are beating my door down...

Can you take a 50+% pay cut tomorrow?
Turns out that majors haven't been hiring for a while and people have had to continue with their lives despite that.
So yes $40/hr is VERY hard for some people, and not just on principal.

Unfortunately for some this is not an option but we having been planning for this day to come eventually and should be able to get by without a drastic lifestyle change...

So a senior FO flying anything Group 2 and above will never have a money incentive to upgrade to Group 1 Captain.
