I seem to remember a question regarding first year pay and thought I'd answer that since it is tax season:
Average credit hours/month 71 (jun - Dec).
Pay: imputed income + student pay + Jun (first month off of OE) - Dec salary: $48K
Perdiem: $10K
On to second year pay soon and a full year of flying. Yahoo…..
BTW I used pro diem and their calculations were $16500. So I have something to debut from my taxes.
For those of you who are starting in Feb you should be roughly the same. Depending on when you complete your OE.
