This type of paycheck is possible, however starting out at $12/hr times 65 hours guarantee is $780 per month. Then deduct $135/mo for health insurance (single) or $1280/mo (family), taxes etc...
To get to the pay $650-700 twice per month you need to be at the $18/hr (+6 month level) and because they would move you around between bases due to lack of crews, you get $35/day perdiem. The perdiem is paid is on the 15th. If you are fortunate to get based in PIT, you could fly over 90 hrs. However, if you are based in LNS where they don't fly on weekends, you may not come close to guarantee.
