I know of one Australian company that pays over AUD$100,000 for a first year FO and no cost for the rating. Once you have 500 on type the pay goes up by AUD$30,000. And yes you start at the higher pay if you have the 500 on type when you join.
(Wont say who it is but you need to have either a JAA licence or time on type)
