If you got paid $22.18 for 8 hours a day during training, you'd pull in around $5,300 a month. That seems way too high...
My guess is this: We're guaranteed 76 flight hours a month, and at $22.18 that comes out to about $1700/month, or $850/pay period.
No idea about per diem during training (I just assume not, I'm cynical that way), or about Denmark (but how cool would it be to go there?).
$5300 a month for a new hire at Mesa? I see you really did your "homework"!
