The Way It Is  

Not even AEL would take someone with one and a half years experince. As a matter of fact, there is really no such thing. After training and instruction and getting turbine time to meet anybody's minimums, it will be 3 three years, minimum. AEL may look at you at that point. MAYBE. Who the hell cares what a GOM SIC makes? A GOM captain gets 150 because that's what the HAVE to pay. That is the very top of the scale. 180 means OT. I'll take less and stay away from that mess.
