Commercial Pilot Upgrading and Salary
Hello, I have read a lot about the salary of pilots and that it usually depends on seniority and experience. However, I can't seem to find much information on upgrading and the pay rates based on experience.
If a pilot starts at an airline as a FO and works lets say 5 years on a particular aircraft, do they then upgrade to a different aircraft as a FO or do they remain on the same plane and become a Captain?
Also, if a pilot were to become a first officer on a new aircraft, do they receive the pay for a FO for the number of years they have been a FO with that airline or do they start at year 1 FO pay again?
Last question is how many different planes would a typical pilot fly in their career? If anybody could give me an example of a typical career path of a pilot with number of years on certain aircraft and at what position. (Yes I know it all depends, I'm just looking for some rough numbers).
Thanks!
