On my caculations as follows

* Note that in the US you work up the income levels each year. The hours a month are the MINIMUM that is guarenteed*

South West FO after 7 years gets US$ 111 384 for 78 hours guaranteed a month

Maximum income for a Captain at Southwest is US $ 177 840 for 78 a month

Have read elsewhere it is US$ 220 000

Jet Blue 7th year FO's are US $62 160 guarenteed 70 a month

Captains maximum US $116 760 for 70 a month

I would imagine that Jet blue pilots will earn more than this with extra flying time. If I remember correctly it is quicker to get to the top level in jetblue too

These are two domestic LCC in the US yet Alan Joyce thinks that Jetstar paying about $137 000 and $83 000 for 85 hours (???) a month is the market average.
