Is it often to credit more than 75hrs a month?

Best piece of advice I ever got in the industry. Base your budget on guarantee (75hrs). After you get off first year pay, keep your budget the same.
After that make your budget guarantee for your previous years longevity. Now before someone chimes in andcstates that’s impossible. I did this when new hire pay was $20/hr with bills. It’s tough but doable

Made almost exactly $70k on year 2 pay including per diem and any extra random performance or attendance bonuses etc. as previous poster before noted I always budget for min pay though. However, averaging 102 hours/mo and $600+ per diem has allowed me to save a little extra. Lastly, getting 100hrs a month as an FO is going to be tough as of right now. Definitely possible, just not as easy as it was in 2018. Good luck and hope this helped.

Oh man I wish. I’ll try and squeeze that in to my resume.
