Also, for non-Mexican citizens I believe it is now a $50 departure tax out of Mexico (I might be wrong on this), but plan to do that 4 times a month. I think my buddy only pays $25 each time he leaves the country.

Can your airline list you on the Gen Dec to avoid the departure tax? that would cut deep into your monthly pay... especially F/O pay!
