Actually the accurate year 2 of contract, 7 year SIC is making a hair above $84,000 (but keep in mind that the 7 year SIC will probably never, ever see the left seat and will thus be pay capped in this contract too. I'm about to enter year 13 in the right seat).
I assume that $7800 is perdiem? If you want to eat anywhere near healthy, you'll spend about 50% of that on the road.
I'm not here to defend or damn NJA, but your figures are off.
