The increase in pay after taxes between 70 vs. 100 hours credit will be around a grand if you include per diem.
Wait until your second year to really put your nose to the grindstone. My .02
I agree. Driving for 2.5 hours to make $37/hr is not the answer. Your goal should be to do the absolute minimum amount of work at Frontier during your first year. Use that time to do anything that your skill set affords that your can do from home to bridge the gap. Leer contract work, flight instruct, hell, even Uber would beat 5 hours of driving to pickup work at $37. All the while, I'd be updating my resume with the legacies to work for a fair wage.
