Here are the payscales. You will be on year 1, 18 day pay during training and can pretty much stay on that if you want or go to 7/7. Take that number and multiply it by 1.1 then depending on your tax exemptions and state you reside in and 401k deduction multiply by .7 maybe ???? then take that number and divide it by 26 paychecks a year and you will get your average take home per paycheck. Perdiem will be added to your check as well at 1.70 per hr while on duty. Make of that what you will.
As Jetlife said NJ is a lot more work compared to most regional CA gigs even though you fly way less hours. The tours are much longer than most regional guys are use to and probably more days a month than regional schedules. It really is a very different job. Also in case it matters upgrades are probably 7 years plus unless something drastic happens.
