I recall I also have read that some
starting-out airline pilots at Atlantic Southeast (?) are getting
circa
$50,000 more or less.

Lucky stiffs. I can't find the web site for a link I want, but
first-year First Officiers are more likely in the $35000 region. That
even applies to the Big Airlines. There's a big jump after the first
year on many lines.

The following site shows comparisons by plane type and a pilot's
experience - but it starts with 3rd year first officiers. The "hours"
is hours per month.

These numbers are likely from before the recent pay concessions.

Southwest shows the highest pay among 737 operators, partly because
the high-seniority pilots on other airlines move to larger planes.
Southwest has no larger planes. In any case a top WN captain will be
maing in the visinity of $180000. While not shown, they also pay
better (less poorly) than many for first year copilots.
