If I add it up right, I could with my wifes salary as a teacher and the pay at Republic ($22.87+$1.69) make around $4725.00 per month. That might just work...along with some side IT work. Possibly some ditch digging as well....
What is the real number of hours you can get? They claim a guaranteed 75, but can you get more? How?
Thanks,

1st Year FO at Republic is $22.95 and 1.65 Per Diem..... Last month I had 109:07 hrs of Credit and 354:07 of Per Diem $2501.58 and $584.10 so that's $3085.68. Now that's last month being on reserve and being used a lot. That's the pay before taxes. I'm not sure if this helped but Not sure where you got the $4725?

It really depends on where you're based, I think, as to how much they use you on reserve. 109 credit hours for a month is on the high end, I think. I didn't break guarantee the 2 months I was on reserve, and neither did a lot of the guys I know. Per diem helps out a lot. St. Louis trips are the most efficient in our system right now. They're very high credit compared to say, Cincinnati.

You should read this thread about QOL and regionals.

I made less than 20k my first year at SKW and I'm doing just fine financially, but I'm single no kids. I had 3 months of reserve and one composite line. That combined with training didn't give me much money. Yeah things were a bit tight but I can't imagine doing anything else. I absolutely love flying with SKW and the PDX crews are amazing. I have yet to fly with someone I don't like. I used to be in computers as well, it was more field work so it was more interesting to me. Once it turned into a cubicle farm job I quit and went to aviation. I don't regret it! I had my bid in for the jet but I took it out a couple of months ago. The Brasillia is a blast to fly and I'm enjoying what I do right now so why change it.

I haven't heard anything about the DEN base going anywhere anytime soon but It could be. I haven't heard it though. The DEN stuff is all dependent upon Frontier, as long as they're in business we have a DEN base, as we have a long term contract with them.
