Ya 1000 hours credit is fair assumption. 72 is guarantee so that's minimum you'll get. You'll rarely get over with reserve or line. Unless you are free on all your off days to answer phone and work extra (read: have no life and wait by the phone like a schoolgirl). 2 months of training you'll get 1750 total ($1000 month plus $750 per diem). So 1st year equals ~29,780 + any perdiem. Most 1st year guys drop middle reserve day so you dont get 4 day trips
. (4 hour reserve day=$146) so it's worth it to lose $146 to greatly increase odds of staying home. And worst case only flying 2-3 day trips.
