Bear in mind, when you start, you'll only be getting min guarantee, no per diem for about 3 months. So that is fairly easy to compute for gross pay. Taxes, that will depend on your particular situation, as evidenced above. You'll have to figure that one out on your own.
Your pay will go up after you hit the line and can credit more than min. Might even do that on RSV, depending on where you work. I have heard of a guy (XJet, I believe) who credits over 90 hours on RSV). If you're a DL mainline pilot, it's possible to credit enough with green slips to net over $48K a month, if you are willing to work the extra days.
Not exactly true. I know at least PSA pays continuous per diem while in ground school (unless there's a 4-day weekend I think they pause it). Thats about 40 days + you'll get ~ 2 weeks while you're in sims. I'd imagine that a lot of other airlines are offering this as well.
It's sorta funny because your pay checks will actually go down once you finish training and hit the line for a more normal $200-400/month per diem on reserve depending on how much you fly.
