There are extra payments available but they are "at company discretion". Read your contract carefully! This means they can choose whether to pay you or not. The last time they decided not to pay the extras was this year. The company changed fleet from 737 to 320, which was an expensive exercise. Solution: take money off the pilots!
Even the above basic pay is not guarateed because they change your contract regularly up or down.
It is no place to settle, don't risk bringing a family here and certainly don't count on an upgrade. Only reason to come is short term to get the rating. Lots of guys are doing this now, that's why they are always recruiting.
DEFINITELY don't believe the expand plans. In 2006 there were 5 aircraft. If you read prune threads you will see promises of huge expansions, 787s, 747-Fs and more great plans. Today there are still 5 aircraft.
