28,000 to start with is not the problem - that's fair enough, consider they pay for the TR.
Someone said here that the increments are 2,000 a year without mentioning any jump to an f/o salary at any point.
If you are saying that there is a jump, or someone with ATPL can join directly on an f/o pay that's another story - that a good alternative for the charters or EZ, for example.
