Hourly rate doesn't tell the whole story...their work rules are very good. If you were to sit reserve without flying much, first year pay would blow.
If you bid into a growing base (easy to do right now) so you get a line right away you can make $27-30K (including per diem). Actually even on reserve in most bases you would fly a lot.
