At least the good part of making 1650/month (75 hrs at 22/hr) at Skywest as a first year F/O is you don't have to worry about that high tax bracket silliness. You'll be enjoying the lowest tax bracket, 10 percent, for a nice long time. You're effetive tax rate will be in the mid single percentage points if you take in to account your approximately 10k standard deduction even. Now that's a good deal!!!
