Monthly pay 4-12: 85 hr @ $36 = $27540
Monthly per diem 4-12: 300 hrs @$1.80= $4860

Total: $71,410

If you want to include the 12 month retention bonus it adds $10k. Having a 91K/135/121 jet type rating adds another $7k.

Months 4-12 assume an extra 10 hours above minimum, which is not unrealistic.
