If what you say is true you've averaged ~105+ credit a month, subtracting for training (2 months) @ 150 hours, you're crediting 110+ hours a month since hitting the line? If so that's pretty good!
Please don't budget for 110 hours a month people. ALWAYS, plan your budget based on minimum guarantee and NO per diem. This will keep you from trying on the rose colored glasses.
For those that have never flown regional Part 121 before, you will be in for a surprise at how much you may be working for how little you will earn. (Things have gotten a bit better the past few years). Add to that, bad 4-day pairings and 2 - 3 days off in between trips with a possible commute and things can become tiring and difficult.
