Gearmover - good point, actually its worse, trust me ive done the math ! 21 per hour x 75 hours month guarantee x 12 months a year (18,900) DIVIDED by hours away from home per month which is assuming 4 day trip line holder (best situation) 4 days times 24 hours per day times 4 trips per month = 384 hours gone divided by monthly guarantee (1575/384 = $4.10 per hour from the time u leave home til you come back) sweet huh...reserve is even worse.

flyjsh - sorry im out east but wouldn't surprise me !

aztec - yes you get 10 off home base unless you choose to pick up extra time but there's always a wild card of weather, a cancel, or a plane breaking down, so its not a hard guarantee. also youd make 18,900 if you started working january 1 of a new year, but if you start in June on the line youll only earn 75 guarantee for 6 months, I was talking as in tax terms per dated year Jan 1 til Dec 31
