Even if you flew 95 hours a month for the next 6 months, that would only come out to about $55k for the first year. You would have to chase Open Time and VFNs all over the country to make $75k. Even if you include Per Diem (it is not salary, so please quit calling it that), you are only talking about another couple thousand. To make $75k you would have to be VBD based (again including per Diem) and that is not going junior on the Bus. So, there may be some circumstances where you could make more, I would certainly plan on making min guarantee your first year hear.
