So just leave them out of the equation.
(Days gone - 2) x 4.85 = 70 hrs + $1,000 Per Diem = monthly gross income.
Don’t count on being able to pick up Open Time in your first year.
You may but just don’t count on it.

There are always exceptions.
Also an outbase nets you 144 hrs credit and $2,000 per Diem.
That’s $25k gross for the month.
Two outbase a year is $50k.
So your $180k plus two outbases equals $230K.
Also some overtime trips can be very lucrative at 30-60hrs credit.
Oubase is basically a 30 day reserve line from an outstation.
There is money to be made but you need to hussle and flow.
Notice this body by Atlas on this ORD 3 year 74 FO

Can't really count on it, but the topic of the thread was real world income, and this is my real world.

Just be realistic about it. To make good money, you work more days than your peers. And when junior, OT is more about luck than anything else.
There are times when Outbasing works. I did a bunch of house improvements last year and had to choose between living with the in-laws for a month, or making enough money to pay for those improvements that month. It was an easy decision.
