Well...my pay sheet for this year says that in 7, I already have $18,354. Taxable income $13,515
This month final paycheck is about $1,500 + $730 july 15 check (both of them after deduction) = $2,230 for yourself after deductions.
In june I broke guarantee at the last moment for 9hrs. I don't pick OT, because is not worth it with first year pay.
In June my final paycheck was $1,800 because I finished may with 98 hrs scheduled, including 4 OT in critical coverage. Is not worth the extra work for $300.

Figure about $1600/month take home 1st yr, and then about $2600-2900/month take home 5th yr FO.. this is what mine was after 401K,insurance/tax and all that taken out with 2 day trips and not a ton of per-diem.. I didn't do a lot of OT if any, I enjoy my time off..
you can make more if you work your ass off and have no life though.. The most I've "taken home" in a month after everything on 5th yr FO was $3500 and months like that aren't fun if you ask me.. It pretty much just sucks until you upgrade.. no way around it.
People will say they make 60K as an FO.. I'm sure it's been done but you will be at work ALL the time..

Second year you can make up to 45 if you want and also depending on what equipment you are on (more likely on the jets).

2k a month first year take home is a good guess, just when you hit the line you will have one bad month due to the transition and a per diem adjustment

"As of the ALPA interactive seniority list for July 2011, the most junior pilot at LAX is a Feb 2011 hire."
So it'll take me 6 months to get LAX, How long is it going to take me to be off reserve at LAX? I know it is going to be a long time the question is will it be years? Is there anyway to look this up if I'm based elsewhere?

If it helps, I can hold a hard line in any eagle equipment and base with the exception of LAX and JFK ERJ... both are super senior.
