If you can get a job at WN, which means you have to already have a 737 type rating and time, I believe their FO's start around 70k, with FO's going up to a bit over 100k and captains topping out with overtime and everything close to 200k. If the raises come at the same rate as the FA's, I would think they get a raise on the line of every 6 months
