Lets just say you get paid the guarantee....75 hrs @ $37 = $2775/mth. And lets say you get "premium" or "double time" for your last 9 hrs/mth (FAA max in one yr is 1000 hrs, divided by 12 months = 83.33 or 84 hrs/mth) 9 hrs @ $74 = $666/mth.
So far, $2775 x 12 = $33,300/yr
$666 x 12 = $7992/yr
$41,292/yr. I dont think you are making $19,000/yr on per diem. Dam good for a 2nd yr f/o, but I really dont think you're flying 1000 hrs in 12 months and making that much in per Diem. Raising the watch on this one.

I bid max credit per day, so I will have 15 days off at 90 or so block and 100 plus credit. This allows me to pick up one-time other days. A sample check went like this 3 hrs override on the 700/900=106 overtime pay 6 hrs at 52=320 58 hrs regular at 35=2025 perdeim 320 total 2770 for half the month. Not all were that high, but, factor bonus checks in just over 60k was the grand total.
Granted I worked my butt off, but the potential is there if you want it.
For the record 60k is nothing, especially for how much I worked.

That sounds good for half a month, but FAR121 flight time limitations are not going to allow you to keep that going for a year...I dont know Skywest's contract at all, so I'm not going to say you cant make $60k at $35/hr, but even if you flew your 1,000 hours at your overtime rate and throw in per diem you're struggling to make $60k it seems....

In essence this is what duty rigs, overtime, "premium time" etc. are all about. A contract with penalties for inefficiency it would be very easy to go well over $60K.
An airline that offers salary to flight crews is attempting to get around these penalties at labors disadvantage.
