What needs to be reiterated is this...if you come to Envoy, there is a chance that you will be awarded the E175. If you then also live/move to DFW or ORD...life might be pretty descent, and you might have then have an opportunity to net 4K a month, but you are going to be working considerable harder compared to Skywest, Endeavor, ExpressJet, Republic, or PSA. If you hustled there, I bet you could break 5-6k a month as an FO, or working less while having a much better experience as an FO, ~4K a months still very possible.
Conversely...if you can’t move to base, or get assigned the EMJ, life will be considerably different.
You’re right, I have had my mid month paychecks alone be over 4K after taxes before at Republic as an FO.
