While one may feel like they are flying in a freighter when aboard one of Omni's 240-seat 767-200s, they technically don't fly cargo, at least not the kind that doesn't load itself. :-)

These are passenger military charters.

Plan for min possible, then anything above that is gravy.

Four months at Training Pay (4 x 1600) = 6400

Eight months at 50 hour guarantee (747: 79.60 x 50 = 3980 x 8 = 31,840).

6400 + 31,840 = 38240 GROSS (plus per diem ~53/day)

If you're hired into the 767 you can subtract ~16% from that.
