Hardly anyone has the time or energy to work that much their first year, and FAR 117 limits people who do want to work as much as possible.
Also something about your per diem isn't adding up. If you're spending 400 hours per month away from base to make $650 per diem then you're flying some pretty terrible trips. The highest paying trips are the ones with really good credit:TAFB ratio. I get the most per diem when I'm junior and flying awful trips.
You post about skywest because you're trying to help and inform others, just as I'm doing with PSA, get over it. In my previous post, I broke it down a little bit on monthly credit. The higher credit is a result of the contract, block time is still around 70-80 hours. Unproductive 4-days with 14-16 hours block can be turned into 24-28 hours credit with some adjustments. In initial training, perdiem is around $700-800/month(+75 hour guarantee). Again, I'm here to help, not to hate. If anyone has questions, feel free to pm.
