You may get a little more with per diem and such, but I wouldn't plan on it. Better to consider it a monthly bonus. It's going to be tough going for at least the first 3 years at a regional, and slightly better after that, if you become a Captain. Maybe another 3 or so years later if you go to the majors, there's another pay cut, but by second year, you should have a livable wage. You won't be buying that Ferrari just yet, but you'll feed the family.
